In the presence of sodium hydroxide or a β‐lactamase, 6‐APA has been shown to hydrolyze rapidly at room temperature to penicic acid 3 , the kinetic product of the reaction. In a subsequent equilibration 3 isomerizes at C‐5, by way of intermediate imine 4 , affording 5‐epi‐penicic acid 6 as the major hydrolysis product (∼ 95% at equilibrium). The pH and temperature parameters of equilibration are discussed and HPLC, optical rotation, proton nmr and 13 C nmr data are presented.
