摘要:
The alkoxyallene derived from 1,3-benzylidene-L-erythritol when treated with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate provided diastereomeric beta-lactams with moderate stereoselectivity. After the intramolecular alkylation of the nitrogen atom, these afforded compounds having oxacepham skeletons. The exo-isopropylidene group enabled the introduction of a variety of substituents to the C-7 carbon atom of the cepham, whereas removal of the benzylidene protection followed by the oxidation of 3-OH to the ketone allowed carboxylation of the C-2 carbon atom.
