Clavulanic acid, a novel β-lactamase inhibitor from Streptomyces clavuligerus, has been shown to be Z-(2R,5R)-3-(β-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicycloheptane-2-carboxylic acid (1).The structure and absolute stereochemistry was confirmed by X-ray analysis of the p-nitrobenzyl and p-bromobenzyl esters, (14) and (15).The conversion of clavulanic acid into a variety of esters and acyl derivatives is described.An account of its isomerisation to the E isomer (30) and the formation of an oxetane (45) as a by-product of the photolysis of the phenacyl ester (18) is given.The reduction and oxidation of acid (1) under a variety of conditions has also been examined in detail.
Oxidative Decarboxylation of Clavulanic Acid and Its 9-Methyl Ether

The carboxy group of clavulanic acid has been replaced by a methoxy group, an acetoxy group, and a m-chlorobenzoyloxy group using standard methods for oxidative decarboxylation (electrolysis, reaction with lead tetra-acetate, and decarboxylative rearrangement of a diacyl peroxide, respectively).In an unexpected reaction, 9-O-methylclavulanic acid (20) reacted with p-chlorophenylselenenyl bromide and base to give 3-(p-chlorophenylseleno)-2-(2-methoxyethylidene)clavam (21).Refluxing a solution of compound (21) in toluene gave 3-hydroxy-2-(2-methoxyethylidene)clavam and b is(p-chlorophenyl)diselenide, the overall result being the replacement of the carboxy group in the acid (20) by a hydroxy group.In chloroform, this 3-hydroxyclavam exists predominantly as the ring-opened aldehyde.Possible mechanisms for the formation of the seleno derivative (21) and its decomposition in refluxing toluene are discussed.

Regioselective reactions at the terminal double bond of the racemic azetidinone dienylether (4), provides a source of clavulanic acid and several analogues.
