Abstract

Two types of the carbapenem key intermediates (4 and 6) have been efficiently synthesized from inexpensive (S)-ethyl lactate (7). Thus,(S)-2-benzyloxypropanal readily obtainable from 7 was condensed with di-p-anisylmethylamine to give the chiral imine. The [2+ 2]- cycloaddition reaction of diketene with the imine underwent in a highly stereoselective manner, yielding the desired 3, 4-trans-3-acetyl-β-lactam (13a) as a major product ( ...
