Abstract

The action of N-bromosuccinimide on tert-butyl esters of 7α-chloro- and 7-alkylidenedeacetoxycephalosporanic acid sulfones upon  irradiation with visible light leads to the formation of a mixture of the product of allylic bromination of the 3-methyl group, namely, 3-bromomethyldeacetoxycephalosporanate, and the  product of replacement of a proton at C(2) in the latter, namely, 2-bromo-3-bromomethyldeacetoxycephalosporanate. Small amounts of E-isomers were also obtained in the case of the Z-isomer of the 7-(4-nitrobenzylidene) derivative. In the case of the 7α-chloro derivative only substitution of one or two protons at C(2) occurs during bromination without irradiation, the same as the isomerization of the double bond in the cepheme system.
