A SHORT SYNTHESIS OF 7-OXO-4-THIA-1-AZABICYCLO[3.2.0]HEPTANE. A BASIC SKELETON OF PENICILLIN-TYPE β-LACTAMS

Abstract
7-Oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane, a basic skeleton of penicillins, was synthesized for the first time from ethyl propiolate in three steps. The key step was the formation of β-lactam ring of thiazolidine-2-acetic acid by the use of Mukaiyama-Ohno’s method.
