Mono- and bi-cyclic 1,3-diazetidin-2-ones (aza-β-lactams) are synthesised and evaluated as non-natural analogues of β-lactams. The aza-β-lactams are designed on the principle that their reaction with active site serine hydroxy will form a carbamoyl-enzyme intermediate that is sluggish to hydrolysis. The synthesis of racemic mono- and bi-cyclic aza-β-lactams is carried out starting from pyrimidinone 18 which is transformed to the densely functionalised substrate 20. The chemical reactivity of tricarbonyl 20 for selective functional group manipulation was first assessed and then it was transformed to amino alcohol 24. Cyclisation of 24 affords aza-carbapenams and its homologation followed by aldol cyclisation provides access to aza-carbacephams. The X-ray structures of aza-carbapenam 35 and aza-carbacepham 42 suggest that the structural requirements for biological activity in β-lactams are fulfilled. An unexpected ozonolysis product, phenol 52 resolves spontaneously during crystallisation and its crystal structure was also determined. The biological activity of the novel mono- and bi-cyclic aza-β-lactams was evaluated with potent gram-positive bacterial strain, Bacillus subtilis and compared with β-lactam antibiotics, ampicillin and penicillin G. Of the 19 aza-β-lactams tested, eight compounds show inhibition better than the standards while another eight are of comparable activity. This study shows that aza-β-lactams represent a novel and non-natural lead towards serine peptidase inhibitors.
Photochemical Reactions of 1-Aryl-2(1H)-pyrimidinones in Alcohol

Irradiation of the 2(1H)-pyrimidinones 1 in alcohols such as 2-propanol and ethanol afforded the 1-(alkoxycarbonylamino)-3-(arylimino)-1-propenes 4a-c,h and 2-(alkoxycarbonylamino)-4-(arylimino)-2-pentenes 4d-g.These photoproducts are formed by trapping the isocyanate intermediates 2, generated initially by the Norrish-type I cleavage of the ArN-CO bond of the 2(1H)-pyrimidinones, with the alcohol.

Irradiation of 1-methyl-4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one (1a) in acyclic or cyclic ethers afforded the C-C bonded 1:1-adducts (2a-c) of 1a and ether via intermolecular hyrogen abstraction of the excited imino nitrogen of 1a, while irradiation of 1-phenyl-4-(3-ethoxypropyl)-6-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one (1g) gave 1-phenyl-4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one (1d) via intramolecular hydrogen abstraction of the excited imino nitrogen of 1g, in addition to 2-oxo-1,3-diazabicyclohex-5-ene derivative (3g).
