Abstract
A convenient synthesis of 2-exo-methylene penams 1 was performed by transformation of thiazoline-azetidinones, derived from penicillin G, through intramolecular Michael addition. Manipulation of the exo-methylene moiety of 1 opened new entries to 2-oxopenam and 2β-thiomethyl substituted penams, respectively.
