Abstract

A formal synthesis of Thienamycin from ethyl (E)-crotonate and a cyclic five-membered nitrone derived from 2-deoxy-d-ribose is described. The synthesis involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, cleavage of the N-O bond in the adduct, and intramolecular N-acylation to afford a bicyclic carbapenam skeleton. Subsequent transformations of the five-membered ring substituents provide the title compound.
