Previous synthetic processes for the preparation of sulopenem involved multistep linear sequences in which the chiral sulfoxide side chain was introduced early in the process. This contribution summarizes the development of a practical and convergent process for the large-scale preparation of 1. The key step in the synthesis involves cyclization of an oxalimide intermediate to provide the thiopenem core. This convergent strategy allows for late introduction of the expensive and labile chiral sulfoxide subunit. Additionally, a regioselective sulfur oxidation and an improved deprotection sequence were developed. The latter provides API of high purity without the need for recrystallization.

This invention relates to a process for the removal of an allyl or allyloxycarbonyl group from an allyl or allyloxycarbonyl group protected compound (such as an allylic ester, carbonate, carbamate, O-allyl derivatives or N-allyl derivatives), which comprises contacting the allyl or allyloxycarbonyl group protected compound with a sulfinic acid compound, in the presence of a palladium catalyst in a reaction-inert solvent. Preferably, the sulfinic acid compound is represented by the formula: X-SO2M (I)wherein X is C1 20 alkyl, substituted C1 20 alkyl (wherein the substituent(s) are independently halo, nitro, sulfo, oxo, amino, cyano, carboxy, hydroxy or moieties derived therefrom), phenyl, substituted phenyl (wherein the substituent(s) are independently C1 3 alkyl, halo nitro, sulfo, oxo, amino, cyano, carboxy, hydroxy, acetamido or moieties derived therefrom), furyl or thienyl; and M is hydrogen, an alkali metal or ammonium salt residue. Of these, most preferred sulfinic acid compound is lithium p-toluenesulfinate, sodium p-toluenesulfinate, potassium p-toluenesulfinate, p-toluenesulfinic acid, ammonium p-toluenesulfinate, lithium benzenesulfinate, sodium benzenesulfinate, potassium benzenesulfinate, benzenesulfinic acid or ammonium benzenesulfinate. This invention is well suited to a process for the conversion of an allyl ester of 5R,6S-6-(1R-hydroxyethyl)-2-(1R-oxo-3S-thiolanylthio)-2-penem-3-carboxylic acid to 5R,6S-6-(1R-hydroxyethyl)-2-(1R-oxo-3S-thiolanylthio)-2-penem-3-carboxylic acid.
