(3S,4S)-1-(t-Butoxycarbonylmethyl)-3-[(S)-1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-(2-diazo-2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-oxoethyl)-2-azetidinone (14) was prepared from 4-styryl-2-azetidinone 7b via a sequence of reactions involving N-alkylation with bromoacetate, ozonolysis, oxidation, condensation with magnesium ethyl malonate, and diazo transfer reaction. (3S,4S)-3-[(S)-1-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-(3-diazo-3-ethoxycarbonyl1-hydroxypropyl)-2-azetidinone (21) was also prepared from 4-formyl-2-azetidinone 5b via a sequence of reactions involving Wittig reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with ethoxycarbonylformonitrile oxide, catalytic hydrogenation, and diazotization. However, the final cyclization of 14 or 21 to 1-hydroxycarbapenem or 1-hydroxycarbapenam by treating with $Rh_2(OAc)_4$ was unsuccessful.

The reaction of thiazoline-azetidinone (7) with $I_2$ in $CH_2Cl_2-H_2O$ gave directly 3-iodo-3-methylcepham (4). A phase transfer catalyst considerably increased the reaction rate. Similar to the hydrolysis of thiazoline-azetidinone (7) under a weak acidic condition, thiazole (10) was given as major product in the treatment with 0.1 eq. of iodine. The difference between cyclization reaction and hydrolysis could be explained in terms of solvents, the amount of iodine and the nature of thiazoline-azetidinones (7).

A new monocyclic ${\beta}-lactam$ analogue, sodium (3R,4S)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyi minoacetamido]-4-methoxymethyl-2-azetidinone-1- sulfonate (3) was synthesized from L-aspartic acid. Starting from L-aspartic acid, (S)-1-benzyl-4-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-azetidinone (7) was synthesized in four steps by following the established procedures and converted into (3R,4S)-3-amino-1-t-butyldimethylsilyl-4-methoxym ethyl-2-azetidinone (13) in six steps. Acylation of the amino group of 13 with $2-amino-{\alpha}$ -(methoxyimino)-4-thiazoleacetic acid, desilylation, and sulfonation with sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex followed by ion exchange afforded sodium (3R,4S)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyi minoacetamido]-4-methoxymethyl-2-azetidinone-1- sulfonate (3). Antibacterial activities of this ${\beta}$ -lactam compound 3 were, however, found to be quite low compared to cefotaxime.

A new series of hydrazino thiazolyl-2-azetidinone 4(a-i) derivatives were synthesized efficiently using benzylidene hydrazinyl thiazole derivatives 3(a-i). The precursors, benzylidene hydrazinyl thiazoles were prepared by reacting 4-fluoro phenacyl bromide with thiosemicarbazones 2(a-i). All the structures of the synthesized compounds were ascertained by IR, NMR and mass spectral analysis.

Syntheses of carbapenam skeletons were achieved from 3-benzyloxypropanal through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. 3-Benzyloxypropanal was reacted with N-hydroxyglycine ester to give C-(2-benzyloxyethyl)-N-alkoxycarbonylmethylnitrone (6). 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrone with ethyl crotonate gave 3-(2-benzyloxyethyl)isoxazolidine (7). Compound 7 was transformed to 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-azetidinone (11). Compound 11 was converted to 4-(2-iodoethyl)-2-azetidinone (13) or 4-phenylthiocarbonylmethyl-2-azetidinone (16) which was cyclized to give 6-(1-hydroxyethyl)carbapenam-3-carboxylate (14, 17).

Sodium (3S,4R)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyi minoacetamido]-4-methoxymethyl-2-azetidinone-1- sulfonate (2) was synthesized in fourteen steps from D-aspartic acid. Starting from D-aspartic acid, (3S,4R)-3-amino-1-t-butyldimethylsilyl-4-methoxym ethyl-2-azetidinone (12) was synthesized in ten steps. Acylation of the amino group of 12 with $2-amino-{\alpha}-(methoxyimino)-4-thiazoleacetic$ acid, desilylation, sulfonation, and ion exchange afforded sodium (3S,4R)-3-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyi minoacetamido]-4-methoxymethyl-2-azetidinone-1- sulfonate (2). This new ${\beta}-lactam$ compound 2 showed low antibacterial activities.

1-Benzyl-4-iodomethyl-2-azetidinone(BIMA) was synthesized and its electrochemical reduction was investigated by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The irreversible two electron transfer on reductive dehalogenation of iodo group proceeded to form 1-benzyl-4-methyl-2-azetidinone by EEC electrode reaction mechanism at the first reduction step(-1.35 volts vs. Ag-AgCl). The polarographic reduction waves separated into two reduction steps due to anionic surfactant (sodium lauryl sulfate) effects, while the waves were shifted to the positive potential as the concentration of cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) increased. Upon the basis of results on the product analysis and interpretation of polarogram with pH variable, EEC electrochemical reaction mechanism was suggested.
