Hydrogenolysis-Isomerization-Reduction of Propargyl Acetate, and Regio- and Stereoselective Hydrogenation of Dienyl Ester for the Synthesis of 1β-Methylcarbapenem Precursor

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1995.1013

A straightforward synthetic route of 1β-methylcarbapenem precursor is established by hydrogenolysis-isomerization-reduction process of propargyl acetate or by regio- and stereoselective hydrogenation process of dienyl ester with complete stereoselectivity
