Abstract

3,3-Dichloro-N-p-methoxyphenyl-4-(2-phenylstryl)-2-azetidinone (C22H15Cl2NO2) was studied by X-Ray analysis, which indicated a monoclinic space group, P2(1)/c, with a = 9.619(5), b = 13.879(4), c = 14.161(5)A, beta = 100.16(3)degrees, V = 1860.8(13)A3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.414 g cm(-3), micro(Mo Kalpha) = 0.366 mm(-1) and F000 = 816. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.041 for 4026 reflections [I > 2sigma(I). The beta-lactam ring (2-azetidinone) has antimicrobial affects. The substituents of the methoxyphenyl and phenyl substituents do not change the activity property of the beta-lactam ring, and the activity properties depend on the planarity of the beta-lactam ring.
