Reaction Steps

N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.26 ml, 1.52 mmol) was dropwise added to a solution of allyl (1R,5S,6S)-2-diphenoxyphosphoryloxy-6-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-methyl-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate (759 mg, 1.52 mmol) and (2R,4S)-N-allyloxycarbonyl-4-mercapto-2-(2-pyrrolidon-3-ylmethyl)pyrrolidine (432 mg, 1.52 mmol) in acetonitrile (11 ml) at -40° C. The reaction solution mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 3 hours and further at 5° C. for 16 hours. Ethyl acetate (60 ml) was added to the reaction solution. This solution mixture was washed sequentially with a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (Wakogel™ C-300, 40 ml, acetone-ethyl acetate 2:3), and the fraction containing the desired product was concentrated to obtain allyl (1R,5S,6S)-2-[(2R, 4S)-N-allyloxycarbonyl-2-(2-pyrrolidon-3-ylmethyl)pyrrolidin-4-ylthio]-6-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-methyl-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate (420 mg, yield: 51.8%) in the form of foam.
