Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for the preparation of a carbapenem, includes the step of treating a solution of a protected carbapenem with hydrogen gas in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst to form the carbapenem, wherein the heterogeneous catalyst includes at least two platinum group metals.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for preparing a carbapenem that is meropenem, imipenem, ertapenem, thienamycin, panipenem, or doripenem, said process comprising the step of treating a solution of a protected carbapenem with hydrogen gas in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst to form the carbapenem, wherein the protected carbapenem is protected meropenem, protected imipenem, protected ertapenem, protected thienamycin, protected panipenem, or protected doripenem, and the protected carbapenem comprises one or more protecting groups that are an unsubstituted benzyl, substituted benzyl, unsubstituted-carboxybenzyl, substituted-carboxybenzyl, or a combination thereof, and wherein the heterogeneous catalyst is a mixed metal catalyst that (a) is an alloy of the two or more platinum group metals; or (b) comprises at least two platinum group metals deposited on a single solid support. 2. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous catalyst comprises at least two platinum group metals deposited on a single solid support. 3. A process according to claim 2 , wherein the single solid support is carbon, alumina, calcium carbonate, barium carbonate, barium sulfate, titania, silica, zirconia, ceria, or a combination thereof. 4. A process according to claim 2 , wherein the single solid support is activated carbon, carbon black, or graphite. 5. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two platinum group metals are two or more of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, or platinum. 6. A process according to claim 5 , wherein the at least two platinum group metals are palladium and platinum. 7. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the solution comprises a solvent that is water, a protic solvent, an aprotic solvent, or a mixture thereof. 8. A process according to claim 7 , wherein the solvent is water, an alcohol solvent, an ether solvent, an ester solvent, a chlorinated solvent, an amide solvent, or a mixture thereof. 9. A process according to claim 7 , wherein the solvent is water, methanol, ethanol, a propanol, a butanol, a pentanol, a hexanol, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, or mixtures thereof. 10. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises a base. 11. A process according to claim 10 , wherein the base is an inorganic or organic base. 12. A process according to claim 11 , wherein the organic base is lutidine. 13. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the protected carbapenem comprises one or more protecting groups that are unsubstituted benzyl, unsubstituted carboxybenzyl, or a combination thereof. 14. A process according to claim 8 , wherein the solvent is water, methanol, ethanol, a propanol, a butanol, a pentanol, a hexanol, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, or a mixture thereof. 15. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the mixed metal catalyst is an alloy of the two or more platinum group metals.
