Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1.40 g (0.039 mole) of 6-(2-bromoacetamido)-2,2-dimethyl- 3-(5-tetrazolyl)penam in 25 ml of methylene chloride is added 0.54 ml (0.039 mole) of triethylamine, followed by 0.52g (0.039 mole) of N,N-diethylthiourea. Stirring is continued for a further 45 minutes, and then the solvent is decanted from the oil which has separated. The oil is triturated with ether, giving a while solid, which is filtered off. The yield is 1.28 g (76% of theory) of 6-(2-[N,N-diethylamidinothio]acetamido)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(5-tetrazolyl)penam. The infrared spectrum (KBr disc) of the product shows absorption bands at 1780 cm-1 (β-lactam) and 1670 cm-1 (amide I). The NMR spectrum (DMSO-d6) shows absorption bands at 5.65 ppm (multiplet, C-5 and C-6 hydrogens), 5.15 ppm (singlet, C-3 hydrogen), 4.10 ppm (singlet, methylene hydrogens), 3.45 ppm (quartet, ethyl hydrogens), 1.60 ppm (singlet, C-2 methyl hydrogens), 1.10 ppm (triplet, ethyl hydrogens) and 1.00 ppm (singlet, C-2 methyl hydrogens).
