The preparation and biological evaluation of 7β-acetamido>cephalosporins and 7β-acetamido>cephalosporins, 9a-o, substituted at the 3-position with acetyloxymethyl, chlorine, hydrogen, and methyl are described.Hantzsch's thiazole synthesis is employed to provide thiazoleacetic acids 5a-e, subsequently followed by Morpho CDI-assisted amidation to complete the synthesis of target cephalosporins 9a-o.These compounds display activity selectively against Gram-positive bacteria, but are inactive against most Gram-negative bacteria tested.Those with acetyloxymethyl at the 3-position, i.e., 9a, 9e, 9i, 9m, and 9o, exhibit activity with minimal inhibitory concentrations of 16 μg/mL or lower against four strains of methicillin-resistant staphylococci, namely Staphylococcus aureus X400 and S13E and Staphylococcus epidermidis 270 and 222.Notably, 9a displays an activity profile similar to that of vancomycin regarding its spectrum and potency.Key Words: Gram-positive bacteria; Methicillin-resistant staphylococci; Cephalosporin; Thiazole synthesis; Amidation.

7α-Amino-1-oxacephems can be epimerized to their 7β-amino epimers by treatment with chloral to give Schiff bases, followed by dehydrochlorination with Huenig base, borohydride reduction, and hydrolysis.
