Penicillin sulfoxide esters are reacted with an isocyanate to produce the corresponding (substituted)-2-carbamoyloxymethylpenam, the corresponding (substituted)-3-carbamoyloxycepham or the corresponding 3-methylcephem. The 6- or 7-side-chain of these products may be cleaved to give the corresponding 6-amino (penams) or 7-amino (cephams and cephems) compounds, and the latter may be reacylated to produce different 6-acyl-2-carbamoyloxymethyl penams, 7-acyl-3-carbamoyloxy cephams and 7-acyl-3-methylcephems. The substituent groups may be removed from the (substituted)-2-carbamoyloxypenams or the (substituted)-3-carbamoyloxycephams to give the corresponding free 2-carbamoyloxymethylpenams or 3-carbamoyloxycephams, respectively.

'3-Carbamoyloxy cephalosporins'

Penicillin sulfoxide esters are reacted with an isocyanate to produce the corresponding (substituted)-2-carbamoyloxymethylpenam, the corresponding (substituted)-3-carbamoyloxycepham or the corresponding 3-methylcepem. The 6- or 7-side-chain of these products may be cleaved to give the corresponding 6-amino (penams) or 7-amino (cephams and cephems) compounds, and the latter may be reacylated to produce different 6-acyl-2-carbamoyloxymethyl penams, 7-acyl-3-carbamoyloxy cephams and 7-acyl-3-methylcephems. The substituent groups may be removed from the (substituted)-2-carbamoyloxypenams or the (substituted)-3-carbamoyloxycephams to give the corresponding free 2-carbamoyloxymethylpenams or 3-carbamoyloxycephams, respectively.

3-Carbamoyloxy-cepham-4-carboxylic acid derivatives

An improved process for the preparation of 1-N-�.omega.-amino-.alpha.-hydroxyalkanoyl!kanamycins comprises acylating a polysilylated kanamycin in a substantially anhydrous organic solvent with an acylating derivative of an .omega.-amino-.alpha.-hydroxyalkanoic acid.

6-Amino penam derivatives

Cepham compounds

Trimethylsilyl or another easily hydrolyzed ester of 6-trimethylsilyloxycarbonylaminopenicillanic acid was prepared by bubbling dry carbon dioxide into an anhydrous solution of the corresponding 6-trimethylsilylaminopenicillanate and found to be a useful intermediate in the production of penicillins, e.g., amoxicillin and ampicillin, by its acylation in anhydrous media with the appropriate acid chloride or acid chloride hydrochloride.

2-Carbamoyloxymethyl-penicillin derivatives

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention trimethylsilyl 7-trimethylsilyloxycarbonylaminodecephalosporanate was prepared by bubbling dry carbon dioxide into an ahydrous solution of trimethylsilyl 6-trimethylsilylaminodecephalosporanate and found to be a useful intermediate in the production of cefadroxil and cephalexin by its acylation in anhydrous media with the appropriate 2-phenylglycyl chloride hydrochloride. Other cephalosporins are produced by acylation of 7-trimethylsilyloxycarbonylaminoceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acids or esters having a variety of substituents at the 3-position.

Process for producing carbamoyl substituted penams and carbamoyl

Trimethylsilyl or another easily hydrolyzed ester of 6-trimethylsilyloxycarbonylaminopenicillanic acid was prepared by bubbling dry carbon dioxide into ananhydrous solution of the corresponding 6-trimethylsilylaminopenicillanate and found to be a useful intermediate in the production of penicillins, e.g., amoxicillin and ampicillin, by its acylation in anhydrous media with the appropriate acid chloride or acid chloride hydrochloride.
