Abstract
Penicilloic acid derivatives undergo two types of reversible thiazolidine ring opening reactions; in aqueous alkaline solution methyl benzylpenicilloate ring opens to give an enamine intermediate by a base-catalysed elimination process involving C-6-H whereas benzylpenicilloic acid epimerises at C-5 by unimolecular ring opening to form an intermediate iminium ion
