Synthesis and stereochemistry of chiral azetidin-2-ones and azetidine-2-thiones. 3. Stereodirected construction of the β-lactam fragment of the thienamycin molecule
Abstract
It has been shown possible to introduce an α-hydroxyethyl group trans-stereospecifically into position 3′ of 4-methyl-1-(α-methyl-benzyl)azetidin-2-one. The stereochemistry of the asymmetric centers C(3′), C(3), and C(4) of the diastereoisomers of the 3-α-hydroxyethyl derivative obtained in larger amount and of the corresponding three adjacent chiral centers C(8), C(6), and C(5) in thienamycin are the same.
