Abstract
S-[2-(Dialkylaminocarbonyl)phenyl](2R)-2-[(3S, 4S)-3-[(1R)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-2-oxo-4-azetidinyl]thiopropionate (11), useful intermediates for the synthesis of 1β-methylcarbapenems including 1β-methylthienamycin, were prepared in a highly stereoselective manner by the reaction of E-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-[2-(dialkylaminocarbonyl)phenylthio]-1-propene (10) with commerically available (3S, 4R)-3-[(1R)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-acetoxyazetidin-2-one (6) in the presence of zinc chloride catalyst. The diethylaminocarbonyl derivative (11b) was particularly convenient for practical production because of its highly crystalline nature.
