Kinetics and mechanisms of hydrolysis and aminolysis of thioxocephalosporins.

The effect of replacing the beta-lactam carbonyl oxygen in cephalosporins by sulfur on their reactivity has been investigated. The second-order rate constant for alkaline hydrolysis of the sulfur analogue is 2-fold less than that for the natural cephalosporin. The thioxo derivative of cephalexin, wi...
