A novel synthesis of the carbapen-2-em ring system
Ratcliffe,Salzmann,Christensen
, p. 31 - 34 (1980)
A new synthesis of the carbapenem ring system, as found in thienamycin and related natural products, has been developed. The key step involves a highly efficient carbene insertion reaction which produces the bicyclic ring system by forming the N3 bond.
