Unusually stable azetidinone sulfenic acids
Sulfoxides of (2S,5S,6S)-penams rearrange upon heating in benzene or toluene to form unusually stable azetidinone sulfenic acids. A reversal of the process, the annelation of the sulfenic acids, is disfavoured due to steric congestion on the endo-face of the corresponding penam sulfoxides.
