Ad. Neary et al., Transformation of 4-acetoxy-3-vinylazetidin-2-ones to 3-(1-hydroxyethyl)azetidin-2-ones and 3-ethylideneazetidin-2-ones: intermediates for carbapenemantibiotics, J CHEM R-S, (5), 2001, pp. 166-169
4-Acetoxy-3-vinylazetidin-2-one and 4-formyl-3-vinylazetidin-2-one are tran
sformed to the carbapenem intermediates 4-acetoxy-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)azetidi
n-2-one and 4-acetoxy-3-ethylideneazetidin-2-one respectively, and the synt
hesis of a 6-vinylcarbapenem is reported.
