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.

Investigations into the chemistry of benzyl clavulanate under a variety of reaction conditions has led to acid catalysed one-step conversion to ether and thioether derivatives. Generation of nitrogen-containing displacement products proceeds via the react
