Abstract

Asymmetric synthesis of β-lactams by means of the reaction of dimethylketene silyl acetal with (S)-alkylidene(1-arylethyl)amines in the presence of titanium tetrachloride was studied. The extent of the asymmetric induction was in the range of 44-78% (diastereomeric purity 72-89%) and the (S)-configuration was turned to be preferentially induced at the 4C position of the resulting β-lactams.
