The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of orally absorbed O-2-isocephems are described.These compounds possessed a D-amino substituent at the 7-position while the substituent at the 3-position was varied.Relative to the analogous cephems, the O-2-isocephems exhibited comparable to better activity against Gram-positive organisms.Against Gram-negative organisms, their activity was variable but did indicate a lower β-lactamase stability.Following oral administration, the O-2-isocephems generally exhibited longer half-lives but lower Cmax's and urinary recoveries.

A simple procedure for the conversion of the readily available chiral azetidinone (2) into the O-2-isocephem (5) is described.
