1,3-Dipolar cyclization of various nitrile oxides with 3(2H)- and 2(5H)-furanones regioselectively furnished the corresponding syn-addition products of 3-oxotetrahydro-furano[4,5-d]isoxazolines and 2-oxotetrahydrofurano[3,4-d]isoxazolines.

3-Acetyl/Formyl 4-hydroxy-2H(1)-benzopyran-2-one on treatment with malonitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate yielded 1,1-dicyano-2-[4/-hydroxy-2/H(1)-benzopyran-2/-one-3/-yl] ethene/propene 2a-h and ethyl-2-cyano-3-[4/-hydroxy-2/H (1)-benzopyran-2/-one-3/-yl] propenoate/butenoate 3a-h respectively. The 1,3 dipolar reaction of 2a-h with NaN3 gave the tetrazole derivative 4a-h. 3a-h on cyclization with PPA gave 3-cyano-2H,5H-pyrano [3, 2-c] benzopyran-2,5-diones 5a-h which on 1,3 dipolar reaction with NaN3 to gave 3-(1/H-tetrazol-5/-yl)-2H,5H-pyrano[3, 2-c] benzopyran-2,5-diones 6a-h. The structures of the compounds have been established on the basis of the spectral and analytical data. All the compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities and have been found to exhibited significant antibacterial activities. Compounds 2h and 4h showed the activity 50g/mL.

(3S,4S)-1-(t-Butoxycarbonylmethyl)-3-[(S)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-(2-diazo-2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-oxoethyl)-2-azetidinone (14) was prepared from 4-styryl-2-azetidinone 7b via a sequence of reactions involving N-alkylation with bromoacetate, ozonolysis, oxidation, condensation with magnesium ethyl malonate, and diazo transfer reaction. (3S,4S)-3-[(S)-1-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-(3-diazo-3-ethoxycarbonyl1-hydroxypropyl)-2-azetidinone (21) was also prepared from 4-formyl-2-azetidinone 5b via a sequence of reactions involving Wittig reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with ethoxycarbonylformonitrile oxide, catalytic hydrogenation, and diazotization. However, the final cyclization of 14 or 21 to 1-hydroxycarbapenem or 1-hydroxycarbapenam by treating with $Rh_2(OAc)_4$ was unsuccessful.
