Abstract: Aromatic urethanes are produced by interacting an aromatic nitro compound, an organic compound containing hydroxyl groups and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst composed of elemental selenium or a selenium compound and of a promoter composed of a bicyclic amidine together with a phenolic compound or a carboxylic acid. The interaction proceeds smoothly with the aid of a small amount of the promoter, attended with secondary production of amino compounds only in small amounts. For instance, 2,4-diethyldicarbamatetoluene is obtained at a yield of 87% by interacting 2,4-dinitrotoluene, ethanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalytic system composed of metallic selenium, 1,8-diazabicyclo(5,4,0)-undecene-7 and acetic acid.

Abstract: Through total synthesis methods developed in the assignee's laboratories, new as well as old penicillin and cephalosporin compounds (all containing the beta-lactam functional group) have been prepared. One of the key intermediates prepared by total synthesis has the 7-amino (6-amino in the case of a penicillin derivative) group in the alpha configuration. The instant invention provides a general route for preparing the 7.beta.-amino (or 6.beta.-amino) compound, through the formation of an imino-containing intermediate, followed by hydrolysis to the desired epimer. Novel intermediate products are provided. The compounds having the desired beta epimer can be converted to acylaminoantibiotics.
