An Enantioselective Synthesis of the Key Intermediate for the Preparation of 1b-Methylcarbapenem Antibiotics

Abstract
An enantioselective synthesis of the key intermediate for the preparation of 1.beta.-methylcarbapenem has been achieved by employing the cyclopentane derivative (8), as a chiral source, readily derived from (-)-carvone.
