- Azetidinone compounds useful in the preparation of carbapenem antibiotics and process for preparing carbapenem and penem compounds
-
Compounds of formula (I): STR1 wherein: R1 is hydrogen or a hydroxy-protecting group; R2 is alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted phenoxy; R3 is optionally substituted pyridyl, optionally substituted quinolyl or phenyl group which has a substituent of formula --CYNR5 R6, where Y is oxygen or sulfur, and R5 and R6 are each alkyl, aryl or aralkyl, or R5 and R6 and the nitrogen to which they are attached together form a heterocyclic group; is R4 hydrogen or an amino-protecting group; and Z is sulfur or oxygen; are valuable intermediates in the preparation of carbapenem compounds and retain a desirable configuration during conversion to such carbapenem compounds. Penem and carbapenem compounds having a group of formula --SA' are prepared from a corresponding compound having a substituted thio, sulfinyl or sulfonyl group at this position by reaction with a compound A'SH (where A' is an organic group) in the presence of a salt of a metal of Group II or III of the Periodic Table.

- Synthetic studies of carbapenem and penem antibiotics. V. Efficient synthesis of the 1β-methylcarbapenem skeleton
-
An efficient synthesis of 1β-methylcarbapenem from the 1-(2- oxoazetidinyl)acetate 8 was developed by application of the Dieckmann reaction. Dieckmann-type cyclization of 8 and conversion to the enolphosphate 10 were achieved without epimerization to the 1α-methyl isomer in a one-pot procedure. Treatment with the mercaptan 22 after the phosphorylation resulted in a practical one-pot preparation of the 1β-methylcarbapenem derivative 23 from 8.
