The titled compounds were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity. The (3R,4S)3-aminomethyl-4-trifluoromethyl derivative (S-34109) was confirmed to be optimal because of its superior activity against quinolone and methicillin-resistant Staphyrococcus aureus and low side effect potential.
