Treatment of (pivaloyloxy)methyl (Pom) 6,6-dihalogenopenicillanates (1-4) and their corresponding sulphones (9-12) with tributyltin hydride under free-radical conditions results in mixture of products in which the 6β-halogeno isomers predominate.In contrast, Pom 6,6-dihalogenopenicillanate (1R)-S-oxides (5-7) under the same conditions react to yield exclusively their corresponding 6α-halogenopenicillanate (1R)-S-oxides.The causative factors which appear to underlie the chemo- and diastereo-selectivity of the reaction are discussed.
