~ -Lactams having a sulfate substituent in ~he l-position and an amino or acylamino substituent in the 3-position contain at least one chiral center - the carbon atom (in the
3~position of the B-lactam nucleus) to which the amino or acylamino substituent is attached.
This invention is directed to those ~lactams which have been described above, wherein the stereochemistry at the chiral center in the 3-position of the ~-lactam nuclues is the same as the configuration at the carbon atom in the 6-position o naturally occurring penicillins (~ ~, penicillin G) and as th2 con~iyuration at the carbon atom in the 77position o na~urally ~32~ ~Cl59 occurring cephamycins (e.g., cephamycin C).
With respeet to the preferred ~-lactams of formulas I and Ia, the structural formulas have been drawn to show the stereochemistry at the chiral center in the 3-posi~ion. Because of the nomenclature convention,those compounds o formulas I and Ia wherein R2 is hydrogen have the S-eonfiguration and those compounds of formulas I and Ia wherein R2 is alkoxy have the R configuration.
Also included within the scope of this invention are raeemic mixtures which contain the above-deseribed ~-laetams.

The reaction can be run in an organic solvent, e.q., a polar organic solvent such as tetxa-hydrouran, at a reduced temperature.where Rl functions as an amino protecting group, it can be removed by con~entional pro~edure~ to give the amino derivative.
Alternatively, a compound of formula X
can be converted to a compound o formula XII
using a single step proceduxe. The alkoxylatiny agent can first be mixed with a compound of 2G formula X and the N-chlorinatlng rea~ent then added to the reaction mixture.
