Asymmetric Induction in Radical Cyclization Leading to β-Lactams: Formal Synthesis of (+)-PS-5

Abstract
Tributyltin hydride-mediated radical cyclization of N-[2,2-bis(phenylthio)ethenyl]-α-bromoalkanamides bearing (S)-1-phenylethyl group on the nitrogen atom gave (4S)-4-bis(phenylthio)-methyl-2-azetidinones as major products. The method was applied to the synthesis of a chiral precursor of carbapenem antibiotic (+)-PS-5.
