Direct diazo-transfer reaction on beta-lactam: synthesis and preliminary biological activities of 6-triazolylpenicillanic acids

Bioorg Med Chem. 2007 Dec 1;15(23):7288-300. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2007.08.035. Epub 2007 Aug 25.

Abstract

In this study we report the first example of a direct diazo-transfer reaction on readily available 6-aminopenicillanates to give 6-azidopenicillanates in high yield. Subsequent Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition between these 6-azidopenicillanates and assorted terminal alkynes facilely furnished 6-triazolylpenicillanic acids. Preliminary biological screening indicates that these triazolylpenicillanic acids possess low to moderate antibacterial activities.
