Wb. Choi et al., A STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF A 2-FUNCTIONALIZED-METHYL-1-BETA-METHYLCARBAPENEM KEY INTERMEDIATE VIA DECARBOXYLATION, Chemical communications, (17), 1998, pp. 1817-1818
An efficient synthesis of a key intermediate 2a for the synthesis of 2
-functionalized methyl-1 beta-methylcarbapenem antibiotics 1 has been
realized via a stereoselective decarboxylation reaction.
