Abstract

Semiempirical PM3 MO calculations are applied to estimate both 1-atom (X=S,O,C) and 3-substituent (Y=R, CH2R, SR, CH2SR) effects on the reactions of some 1-atom-replaced and 3-substituted cephem-like β-lactam compounds of thiacephems, oxacephems, and carbacephems. Stabilization energy (SE) of the reaction intermediate for the reaction with a hydroxyl ion can be used to evaluate the facility of a reaction and selected as a chemical reactivity index. With the 1-atom effect only, the SE values obtained imply that thiacephems are generally more reactive than the other two cephem-like molecules and the reactivity order is thiacephems>oxacephems>carbacephems. When it comes to the 3-substituent (Y=R, CH2R, SR, CH2SR) effect, chemical reactivity can be best realized by using a 3-substituted thiacephem molecule capable of giving a resonance-stabilized and electron-rich leaving group after the reaction with a nucleophile. SE values, however, decrease in most cases when an additional intervening ethylene group is present (Y=CH2R, CH2SR). The overall 3-substituent reactivity tendency is SR>CH2SR>R>CH2R.
