Synthesis of an Anti-Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Carbapenem via Stannatrane-Mediated Stille Coupling

Abstract
A short synthesis of carbapenem 1 is described. The key step involves the cross-coupling of an enol triflate with an amino-substituted sp3 carbon. This cross-couping, which allows the introduction of the complete side chain in one step, utilizes a stannatrane as the heteroalkyl transfer reagent.
