A concise synthesis of penems
Barker,Campbell,Jenkins

A brief and efficient new synthesis of 2-substituted 6-[1(R)-hydroxyethyl]-penems is described. The key step involves reaction of an azetidin-2-one-4-disulphide with either stabilized or unstablized phosphoranes, giving ylids which cyclize with the 1-oxalimide group to give 2-substituted penems.
