An orally active carbapenem L-084, which exhibits high bioavailability in humans, has a 1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidin-3-ylthio moiety at the C-2 position of the 1β-methylcarbapenem skeleton. We established a practical and cost-effective synthesis of 3-mercapto-1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidine (1) for further scale-up production of L-084. This synthesis method entails an industry-oriented reaction of azetidine ring-closure to yield N-benzyl-3-hydroxyazetidine (16), which is eventually converted to 1 via key intermediates, Bunte salts 19 and 20.
An efficient method for the synthesis of 3-mercapto-1-(1,3-thiazolin2-yl)azetidine (1) is described. This thiol synthesis was achieved in 3 steps from readily available 3-methanesulfonyloxyazetidine via key intermediates, Bunte salts (3 and 5). The final step was enabled to proceed under mild conditions using the benzylthiol-mediated cleavage of the S-S bond in the Bunte salt (3).
