Abstract:
The synthesis of 3α-methyl-7-oxo-3β-(1H-1,2,3 triazol-1-ylmethyl)-4-thia-azobicyelo[3,2,0] heptane 2α-carboxylic acid-4,4-dioxide(tazobactam) was studied in this paper, particularly the affecting factors of the chlorization cyclization and azide substitution. The synthesis of tazobactam was described starting with 6-aminopenicillanic acid in eleven steps, that include diazotization-bromination, oxidation, chlorization cyclization and so on. Finally tazobactam was obtained and the total yield was about 4%.
