Abstract

Abstract A new synthetic approach to optically active key intermediates for thienamycin synthesis is described which involves the highly stereocontrolled transformation of the 2-azetidinone obtained via the condensation of ethyl (S)-3-hydroxybutanoate with the N-silylimine of trimethylsilylpropynal.
