P-Amido sulphoxides (2) react w i t h the 0-silylated ketene acetal (3) t o give the 4-phenylthioazetidin-2-ones (4), which are converted into azetidin-2-one esters ( 5 ) , k n o w n precursors of various types of carbapenem antibiotics.
The stereoselective preparation of 1‐hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acid derivatives is reported. The key reaction is either a radical cyclization or a radical annulation mediated by the transfer of a phenylseleno group. The radical precursors are easily synthesized by two consecutive enolate alkylations. Excellent stereochemical control for the quaternary C(1) stereogenic center has been achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
