The title compound has been prepared starting from the known azetidinone (I). The lithium enolate of ester (I) was acylated with pivaloyl chloride (II) at low temperature to afford keto ester (III). The silyl protecting group of (III) was then removed by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride, yielding alcohol (IV). Inversion of the configuration of alcohol (IV) was accomplished by Mitsunobu coupling with formic acid to produce the formate ester (V), which was subsequently hydrolyzed to the desired alcohol (VI) under acidic conditions. Protection of alcohol (VI) with p-nitrobenzyl chloroformate (VII) gave carbonate (VIII). Chlorination of (VIII) with concomitant oxidative cleavage of the methylthio group at -40 C led to the chloroazetidine (IX). Cyclization of (IX) to the key oxapenem bicyclic system (X) was then performed by treatment with potassium tert-butoxide in cold t-BuOH/THF.
