The IUPAC name is lacking stereochemistry specifics.--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 02:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I switched to the IUPAC name given at the PubChem link which has stereochemistry. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I was going to do that when I redrew the structure, but completely forgot :) Thanks, Ed. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IUPAC NAme and Structure

I think the correct IUPAC Name is

(4R,5S,6S)-3-({(3S,5S)-5-[(3-carboxyphenyl)carbamoyl]pyrrolidin-3-yl}sulfanyl)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-methyl-7-oxo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid

and the structure as drawn is incorrect--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 23:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
