An enantioselective formal synthesis of thienamycin.

Thienamycin is a carbapenem antibiotic with potent activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Due to its promising activity but lack of chemical stability, thienamycin serves as inspiration for new synthetic antibiotic scaffolds. In this study, we report a nine-step enantioselective formal synthesis of thienamycin. Our route utilizes an asymmetric reduction, enabled by NaBH
