B. Alcaide et al., 1,3-IMINOKETONES AS NEW SYNTHONS FOR THE STEREOCONTROLLED PREPARATIONOF USEFUL CARBAPENEM INTERMEDIATES, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(11), 1993, pp. 2369-2374
An efficient, totally stereoselective two-step synthesis of cis- and t
rans-carbapenem intermediates based upon the reaction of N-methoxycarb
onylmethyl 1,3-iminoketones 1 with benzyloxyacetyl chloride followed b
y a stereocontrolled intramolecular aldol-type condensation, has been
developed.
