A penem medicine intermediate and a preparing method thereof

A penem medicine intermediate and a preparing method thereof are provided. The penem medicine intermediate is (2S,4R)-4-(3-fluorophenylthio)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (shown as the formula IV). The intermediate is prepared by a one-step reaction by subjecting trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline and 3,3'-difluoro diphenyl disulfide which are adopted as initial raw materials to disulfide bond breaking under actions of a reductant. The intermediate is simple in preparing method, easily available in raw materials, low in environment pollution and suitable for large-scale industrial production, and can be used for preparing penem medicine mercaptan branch chains or penem medicines.
