A practical synthesis for the large-scale production of the new carbapenem anitbiotic, [4R,5S,6S]-3-[[(3S,5S)-5-[[(3-Carboxyphenyl)amino]carbonyl]-3-pyrrolidinyl]thio]-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-methyl-7-oxo-1azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid monosodium salt (ertapenem sodium) is developed. The strategy and discoveries leading to practical synthesis for the new antibiotic ertapenem sodium allowing production on multi-kilogram scale are described.
