  • Patent number: 4876338
    Abstract: 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.
