The theory that penicillins and cephalosporins are D-alanyl-D-alanine surrogates led Strominger and Tipper (2) to predict that placing a methyl group in the same position as is found in the D-alanyl residue, i.e. a to the lactam carbonyl, would increase antibacterial effectiveness.
On treatment of benzyl 6a-(dimethylamino)-6S-(phenoxyacetamido)penicillanate with methyl iodide in a polar solvent a dimeric species surprisingly resulted; the anticipated 6a-quaternary ammonium salt could not be isolated. Added methanol gave the Ga-methoxypenicillin. An a-acylureido penicillin ga
