A new rearrangement reaction of penicillin G sulphoxide
Abstract
Penicillin G sulphoxide on reaction with trifluoroacetic anhydride gave, in high yield, a novel tricyclic spiroderivative. Reaction with toluene-α-thiol gave S-benzyl thioformate and (2S,5S)-2-benzylthiocarbonyl-6,6-dimethyl-3-phenylacetyl-5-trifluoroacetamido-1,3-thiazin-4-one.
