Abstract

Alkenyl-β-lactams, obtained by palladium-catalyzed [2+2] cycloaddition of imines with allyl halides, were functionalized in a stereoselective way by a simple deprotonation with LDA, and subsequent capture of the formed carbanion by various electrophiles. Alkyl, hydroxy and epoxy functionalities were inserted exclusively at the C-3 carbon atom of the β-lactamic system, without performing new cyclizations. High stereoselectivity was noticed with the quenching taking place preferentially at the C_α with respect to the C_γ carbon atom of the allylic moiety of the azetidinyl anion generated by deprotonation.
