The preparation of the thiazoline (1R,SR)-3-phenylmethyl-4-thia-2,6-diazabi
cyclo [3.2.0]hept-2-en-7-one (1) is presented. This compound, which has bee
n extensively used as an intermediate for the synthesis of penems and cepha
ms, has been obtained starting from a C-4 unsubstituted azetidinone by mean
s of facile processes while chirality has been obtained through enzymatic r
esolution.
