β¦ Synopsis
The discovery of thienamycin 1) , a broad spectrum 8-lactam antibiotic, provoked considerable interest in the synthesis of carbapenem or penem compounds.
From the viewpoint of molecular modification, penem derivatives were of particular interest to us, since the thienamycin analog in which the Cl-methylene group of thienamycin is replaced by sulfur has been demonstrated to be more stable and retain the intrinsic activity of the carbapenem antibiotic. 2)
We considered the unique synthesis of new penem derivatives, some of which aye inaccessible by the most reliable method utilizing an intramolecular Wittig reaction.

As with the oxapenems, the 2-tert-butyl substituents substantially increased the hydrolytic stability of penems. The corresponding penems 1 and 2 were prepared and found to be extremely stable compounds. 2 showed good in vitro activity against gram-positive bacteria.
