Pure pencillin N α‐sulfoxide ( 1 ) and penicillin N β‐sulfoxide ( 2 ) were obtained by HPLC and tested as substrates for deacetoxycephalosporin C synthetase (DXCS). Neither one of the sulfoxides was utilized under conditions of conversion of penicillin N ( 8 ) to deacetoxycephalosporin C ( 9 ). The cephalosporin C α and β‐sulfoxides ( 3 and 4 , resp.) were also prepared. Relative stabilities of the sulfoxides 3 and 4 are discussed by interpretation of the 13 C‐NMR spectra.
