A novel synthesis of the 1β-methylcarbapenem key intermediate employing the [2+ 2]-cycloaddition reaction of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate with a 4H-1, 3-dioxin …
Abstract A highly stereoselective synthetic route to the title compound was explored by featuring the [2+ 2]-cycloaddition reaction of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate with the 4H-1, 3- dioxin derivative readily obtainable from methyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, the Baeyer-Villiger reaction resulting in novel cleavage of the acetal moiety, and the Reformatsky reaction with sterically crowded 3-(2-bromopropionyl)-2-oxazolidone derivatives.
