✦ Synopsis


Synthesis of 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-1β-methylcarbapenem.

Chemoselective Organometallic Addition to 3-Substituted 4-[(R)-1-Carboxyethyl]azetidin-2-one.

-A new method to introduce the α-hydroxymethyl function at the 2-position of the carbapenem system in an early stage of the synthesis is investigated. Protected hydroxymethyl synthons are added to the lithium or magnesium salt of an azetidine carbocyclic acid in moderate yields up to 49%. The following synthesis of the carbapenem system leads to the products in overall yields of 12 -19%. The method is reproducible from a 0.5 to a 50 g scale. -(HU, X.
