Abstract
The synthesis of an analog of the carbapenem antibiotics, the asparenomycins, is described. This analog lacks the methyl group in the 6-alkylidene side chain while a methyl group has been placed at the 1β-position. The key step involved the Lewis acid-catalyzed rearrangement of an epoxide to an allylic alcohol.
