General Description
beta-Methyl vinyl phosphate (MAP) is a critical phosphate ester compound and a high-value pharmaceutical intermediate. This advanced intermediate is structurally essential for the synthesis of antibiotics in the Penem (Carbapenem) class, serving as a key precursor in the manufacturing process.
Application
MAP is a fundamental pharmaceutical intermediate for the preparation of advanced antibiotics, notably the Penem drugs, thereby supporting the production of next-generation antibacterial agents. Additionally, as a phosphate ester, it is broadly employed in chemical and biological research where it serves as a critical substrate for phosphorylation reactions necessary for investigating and understanding essential protein functions and cellular signaling pathways.
The MAP (β-methyl vinyl-phosphate meropenem precursor) strategy streamlines the construction of C-2-modified carbapenems. After mild deprotection of alkyne-terminated thioacetates, free thiol is generated with TCEP and directly reacted with MAP at −10 ℃. Michael addition displaces the vinyl-phosphate in one step to deliver protected alkyne-Carbapenemes 23 or 25 in 36–39% yield. These intermediates are stable, chromatographable and serve as universal scaffolds for copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cyclo-addition, enabling rapid assembly of triazole-linked conjugates such as 24 and 26 that merge the antibiotic core with an indole-2-carboxylate metallo-β-lactamase inhibitor. Global hydrogenolysis then removes the PNZ/PNB protecting groups to furnish the target hybrids 5 and 6.
