title: Synthesis of J-111,347, a novel 1 beta-methylcarbapenem with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.
abstract: Synthesis of J-111,347 (1), a new 1 beta-methylcarbapenem with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity including that against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was achieved via diastereoselective preparation of a side-chain thiol 3 from an optically active (R)-3,4-dihydroxybutanal 4.
