Published: January 2003

The stereospecific synthesis of the functionalized carbapenam core 16 from the serine-derived trisubstituted pyrrolidine 9 is reported. The synthetic strategy relies on synthesizing an appropriately functionalized pyrrolidine, followed by an intramolecular azetidone formation utilizing a modified Mukiyama reagent. The efficient one-pot conversion of the benzenesulfonamide-protected pyrrolidine 9 to the Cbz-protected pyrrolidine 10 is also reported.

The proposed biosynthetic pathway to the carbapenem antibiotics proceeds via epimerization/desaturation of a carbapenam in an unusual process catalyzed by an iron- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase, CarC. Crystal structures of CarC complexed with Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate reveal it to be hexameric (space group C2221), consistent with solution studies. CarC monomers contain a double-stranded beta-helix core that supports ligands binding a single Fe(II) to which 2-oxoglutarate complexes in a bi-dentate manner.
