<p>The invention relates to a process for synthesizing a 4-substituted azetidinone derivative represented by the general formula (3) (wherein OR1 represents a protected hydroxyl group; CO2R3 represents an esterified carboxyl group; and X and Y represent each independently alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl, aryl, alkylthio, alkoxy, heterocycle, acyl, amino, hydrogen or halogen, or alternatively X and Y are combined together to represent cycloalkan-2-on-2-yl) by the reaction of an azetidinone derivative represented by general formula (1) (wherein OR1 is as defined above; and R2 represents alkyl, alkenyl or aryl) with an ester compound represented by general formula (2): (wherein CO2R3, X and Y are each as defined above) in the presence of zinc and copper compounds. The invention relates also to a compound represented by general formula (3) and further to a compound prepared by decarboxylating the compound (3), both being useful as an intermediate for synthesizing antibacterial carbapenem compounds.</p> |
