The direct chemical conversion of peptides to β-lactams
Miller,Mattingly
, p. 2563 - 2570 (2007/10/02)
Appropriately protected seryldipeptides which have a relatively acidic proton (H1 of 1) on the α' C can be efficiently converted to β-lactams by reaction with azodicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine. Application of the same reaction conditions to serylamides which lack an acidic α' proton provided dehydropeptides as the major product. Model reactions and potential intermediates which rationalize these results are described.

Using 3H/14C doubly labeled specimens of L- and D-serine bearing tritium label at C-2, biosynthetic studies of norcardicin A (1) produced by whole cells of Nocardia uniformis subsp. tsuyamanensis (ATCC 21806) are reported that indicate (a) that D-serine i
