Process development on (3S,4S)-[(R)-1 '-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl]-4-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-2-azetidinone 1-beta-methylcarbapenem key intermediate
Xb. Lu et al., Process development on (3S,4S)-[(R)-1 '-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl]-4-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-2-azetidinone 1-beta-methylcarbapenem key intermediate, ORG PROC R, 5(2), 2001, pp. 186-188
The process for the stereoselective synthesis of the 1-beta -methylcarbapen
em key intermediate 2 via the Reformatsky-type reaction employing a dihydro
-oxazinone derivative has been developed for large-scale production. The mo
st difficult problem involved in the development was the exothermic nature
of the reaction. Change of acidification order avoided the heat release in
the hydrolysis of 5 to 2.
