The Morin ring expansion of penicillin 1-oxides to cephalosporins has been extended to norpenicillin 1-oxides. To this end, both the norpenicillin sulfoxide moiety and the methyl group should be β-oriented. Norpenicillin 1-oxides are prepared from properly protected exomethylene penam derivatives using hydrogen on palladium/carbon and oxidation with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid or peroxyacetic acid.
