A 7-alpha-methoxycephalosporin containing a carbamoyloxymethyl substituent at C-3 (cephamycin C) has been isolated from the extracellular fluid of an aqueous suspension of Streptomyces clavuligerus shaken in the presence of 18O2. The cephalosporin has been converted into its N-acetyl dimethyl ester and the distribution of 18O in the latter determined by chemical-ionization mass spectrometry. The results indicate that the oxygen atom of the methoxy group, as well as that linked to the exocyclic methylene group at C-3, is derived from molecular O2.
从在(^{18}O_2)存在下振荡的棒状链霉菌水悬浮液的细胞外液中分离出一种在C-3位含有氨甲酰氧基甲基取代基的7-α-甲氧基头孢菌素(头霉素C)。该头孢菌素已转化为其N-乙酰二甲基酯,并通过化学电离质谱法测定了后者中(^{18}O)的分布。结果表明,甲氧基的氧原子以及与C-3位环外亚甲基相连的氧原子均来源于分子氧(O_2)。
