Two classes of substituted N-aryl azetidinones have been prepared by cyclization of various β-bromopropionanilides. The 7a class possess a carboxylic function in ortho, meta or para of the nitrogen and possibly another alkyl substituent on the aromatic nucleus. In the 7a class, the aromatic nucleus is substituted by a bromomethyl group instead of the alkyl one. Few of these azetidinones show a good affinity for various cell-free β-lactamases preparations, and thus are pretty good competitive inhibitors. Nevertheless, they do not act synergistically with ampicillin on β-lactamase producing bacterial strains. A poor antibacterial activity has been detected for few compounds. The azetidinones 7b which possess a latent electrophilic quinonimine methide function, do not give any progressive (suicide type) inhibition, or inactivation, of the enzymatic activity.
