A number of 6a-methylthiopenicilIins and 7-methylthiocephalosporins have been prepared from intermediates obtained by methylthiolation of Schiff bases of 6-aminopenicillanic acid esters and 7-aminocephalosporanic acid esters. Fluorination with perchloryl fluoride gave a 7a-fluorocephalosporin Schiff base that could be solvolyzed to 7a-methoxy-and 7a-methylthiocephalosporin intermediates. The same 7-methoxycephalosporin Schiff base intermediate could be obtained by mercuric acetate catalyzed methanolysis of the corresponding 7 «-methyl-thio Schiff base. Reaction of a 7a-methylthiocephalosporin with mercuric acetate in methanol gave a mixture of 7a-and 7/3-methoxycephalosporins from which pure 7/3-methoxy epimer. could be isolated. The same reac-tion with methanol replaced by dimethoxyethane or acetic acid yielded a 7-acetoxycephalosporin. Nuclear Overhauser studies performed on the 7-substituted cephalosporins led to assignments of configuration at C-7, which were supported by single-crystal X-ray analysis of 7a-methylthio-7-phenylacetamidodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid ieri-butyl ester., Previous investigations have shown that neither the introduction of a 7-methyl group into a cephalosporin nor of a 6a-methyl group into a penicillin results in improved antimicrobial activity. 1· 2 Similar results were found when the 7 (6)-ce-methyl substituents were replaced by-acetyl groups. 3 As part ofthe biological study of cephalosporins and penicillins possessing sub-stituents at the C-7 (6) position, it seemed reasonable for us to examine the effects ofelectron-withdrawing substituents other than acetyl.
