Abstract
Improved synthesis of the tratis-3,5-disubstituted pyrrolidin-3-ylthio side -chain of the novel carbapenem 1 was achieved via stereoselective reduction of the 1-aryl-1-butanone derivative 5 and successive intramolecular cycliz ation of the resulting, chiral alcohol 6. The 1-aryl-1-butanone derivative 5 was obtained by a coupling reaction of protected 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone with aryl-Grignard reagent.
