Reaction of thiols with 1-azabicyclohept-2-ene-2-carboxylates results in Michael addition to the double bond, producing in high yield 2-thio-substituted 1-azabicycloheptane-2-carboxylates; the major products such as the ethylthio adducts (5) and (7) are those of trans-addition to the double bond.Oxidation of these major adducts with iodobenzene dichloride in the presence of aqueous pyridine results in highly regio- and stereo-specific oxidation to α-chlorosulphoxides as in compounds (27) and (28); base-catalysed elimination produces the Δ2-unsaturated α- and β-sulphoxides (31) and (32).Oxidation of the thiol addition products with iodobenzene dichloride-pyridine under anhydrous conditions gives the Δ3-unsaturated isomers such as (35) and (36) rather than the α-chloro sulphide products; equilibration with base results in a mixture of the Δ3- and Δ2-isomers which can be separated.Deprotection gives the bioactive Δ2-sodium salts , while the corresponding Δ3-salts (38) and (39) show no antibacterial properties.
