Production method of furfuryl thiopropionate

The invention discloses a production method of furfuryl thiopropionate. Furfuryl alcohol is used as an initial raw material to prepare the furfuryl thiopropionate through three-step reaction operation, and furfuryl mercaptan is prepared from furfuryl alcohol, thiourea, hydrochloric acid, water and sodium hydroxide; sodium furfuryl mercaptide is prepared from sodium hydroxide, water and furfuryl mercaptan; and propionic anhydride is dropwise added into the sodium furfuryl mercaptide to prepare the furfuryl thiopropionate. The method is safe, environment-friendly, simple and feasible in process operation, high in finished product content, easily available in raw materials, low in production cost and suitable for large-scale production.

High percentage beta-yield synthesis of carbapenem intermediates

Disclosed herein is a novel process using novel silyl enol ether intermediates of the formula STR1 to generate novel azetidione thiolester intermediates of the formula STR2 which can be used to form 1-β-alkyl carbapenem antibiotics. It has now been discovered that if the R4 group is selected from a small group of moieties having the formula: STR3 an increased β-yield of up to approximately 100% can be obtained.
