“…The diastereomeric carbapenams 579a and 579b , the penam 580 , and the carbapenams 581 − 583 (Figure ) were prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diazomethane to the corresponding carbapenems and subsequent thermolysis of the obtained pyrazolines. − However, the biological activities of compounds 579 − 583 have not been reported so far. Derivative 583 was submitted to a mesylation−elimination sequence, furnishing the ( E )-ethylidene-substituted carbapenam 584 , which, upon ozonolysis, afforded the anhydride 585 or the acrylate 586 , depending on the reaction conditions. , …”
