β-lactams with the thienamycin side chain were synthesized from α-vinyl β-lactams via oxymercuration-demercuration reaction as well as through their epoxidation, regioselective epoxide ring cleavage and radical-induced debromination. The stereochemistry of these β-lactams was established by physico-chemical methods.
