We used semi-empirical and ab initio calculations to investigate the nucleophilic attack of the OHion on the 8-lactam carbonyl group. Both allowed us to detect reaction intermediates pertaining to proton-transfer reactions rather than the studied reaction. We also used the PM3 semi-empirical method

A comprehensive study on the gas-phase alkaline hydrolysis of cephalosporins by using the semiempirical AM1 method was carried out. Cephalothin was the model compound used on account of the presence of a good leaving group at C(3'). According to the results obtained, the hydrolysis process takes pla
Semiempirical AM1, MINDO/3, and MNDO methods have been used in the study of the alkaline hydrolysis of P-lactam antibiotics through a base-catalyzed, acyl-cleavage, bimolecular mechanism. In this work, the hydroxyl ion has been chosen as nucleophilic agent and the azetidin-2-one ring like a model of
