A novel access to 3-hydroxycephems was attained from penicillin G via
the C=C bond cleavage of -2-propenyl)-4-(phenylsulfonylthio)-2-azetidi
nones by successive treatment with RuCl3/HIO4 and HIO4/CuSO4 and reduc
tive cyclization of 1- 1-alkoxycarbonyl-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-1-propenyl)
-4- (phenylsulfonylthio)-2-azetidinones on treatment with a newly devi
sed BiCl3/Sn or TiCl4/Sn bimetal redox couple in DMF containing pyridi
