Summary:A process for the preparation of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide and esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo, which comprises oxidation of a 6-halopenicillanic acid, or an ester thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo, to the corresponding 6-halopenicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide or ester thereof, followed by dehalogenation (e.g. by hydrogenolysis). Certain of the 6-halopenicillanic acid 1,1-dioxides and esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo are novel intermediates. Penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide, and esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo are known compounds which are beta-lactamase inhibitors and which enhance the effectiveness of certain beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g. the penicillins) in the treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly humans.
