A process for the preparation of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide and esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo. Said process involves dehalogenation of a 6-halo or 6,6-dihalo derivative of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide or ester thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo or a carboxy protected derivative thereof (e.g. by hydrogenolysis). The 6-halo and 6,6-dihalo derivatives of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxides, esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo, and carboxy protected derivatives thereof are novel intermediates. Penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide, and esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo, are known compounds which are useful as beta- lactamase inhibitors and for enhancing the effectiveness of certain beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g. the penicillins) in the treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly humans. |
