Patent number: 4876338Abstract: A multi-step stereospecific process for preparing (3S,4R,5R)-1-(allyloxycarbonyl)-methyl-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-beta-naphthoxy thi ocarbonylthio-2-azetidinone, stereoisomers thereof or hydroxy protected analogs thereof from anhydropenicillin. The azetidinones are intermediates useful for producing penems which are a known group or antibacterial compounds. The process involves protecting the hydroxy group of anhydropenicillin with a readily removable hydroxy protecting group, then reacting the resulting compound by treatment with oxygen and cuprous chloride in methanol, followed by reaction with ozone to produce a hydroxy protected dithiobis azetidinone and convert the methylidene groups originally in the 2-position of anhydropenicillin and in the bis-compound, to a (methoxycarbonyl)-carbonyl group. The resulting compound is converted to the unprotected dithiobis compound by reaction with ammonium hydroxide, then allyliodoacetate followed by an acid.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1988Date of Patent: October 24, 1989Assignee: Schering CorporationInventors: Donald Hou, Yee-Shing Wong, Dinesh Gala, Martin Steinman

Patent number: 4767853Abstract: A multi-step stereospecific process for preparing (3S,4R,5R)-1-(allyloxycarbonyl)-methyl-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-beta-naphthoxy thiocarbonylthio-2-azetidinones, stereoisomers thereof or hydroxy protected analogs thereof from anhydropenicillin. The azetidinones are intermediates useful for producing penems which are a known group of antibacterial compounds. The process involves protecting the hydroxy group of anhydropenicillin with a readily removable hydroxy protecting group, then converting the resulting compound by ozonolysis followed by reaction with a trialklyl phosphite, then hydrolysis to remove the methylidene group at the 2-position of anhydropenicillin. The resulting compound is converted to the unprotected 4-beta-naphthoxy thiocarbonylthio derivative by reaction with allyl alcohol and HCl followed by reaction with O-2-napththalenylcarbonochloridothioate, or to the protected compound by reaction with silver imidazolate and allyl alcohol followed by reaction with O-2-naphthalenylcarbonochloridothioate.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1986Date of Patent: August 30, 1988Assignee: Schering CorporationInventor: Donald Hou
