Abstract:
Six new 7-substituted-azino-cephalosporins and six new 7
α-methoxy-T
β-substituted-hydrazono-cephalosporins were synthesized from 7ACA and 7ADCA. A new method of introducing 7
α-methoxy in this type of cephalosporin was developed. While an electrophilic centre was formed at C
7 position of 7-substituted-azino-cephalosporins with the help of nitro and conjugated chain, in the presence of p-TsOH in MeOH, methoxy was introduced into C-7
α position easily due to steric effect. All compounds were subjected to antimicrobial test in vitro, Ⅱa~Ⅵa and Ⅱb~Ⅵb showed weak activity against Gram positive bacteria. The MIC of cephalosporins with a 7
α-methoxy group is lower than cephalosporins without the 7
α-methoxy group.
