This paper reports studies of the solid-state chemistry of the diammonium salt of moxalactam. The methods employed include X-ray crystallography, molecular mechanics calculations, thermogravimetric analysis, and high-pressure liquid chromatography. The crystal structure shows that the malonic acid amide functionality in crystals of the diammonium salt is not planar. If the common decarboxylation mechanism is operating, then considerable rotation would be required for this functionality to attain coplanarity. Simultaneous HPLC and thermogravimetric analysis studies indicate that the decarboxylation of the diammonium salt of moxalactam is preceded by desolvation. Molecular mechanics calculations indicate that the barrier to rotation of the malonic acid amide functionality is relatively small in the dehydrated crystals, perhaps explaining the facile decarboxylation of this antibiotic. Alternatively, the amorphous desolvated crystals may allow enough molecular freedom for the malonic acid amide functionality to attain coplanarity and decarboxylate.
