Synthesis of enantiopure C-3/C-4 disubstituted β-lactams has been achieved through Staudinger cycloaddition reaction of acid chloride and imine under microwave irradiation. Importantly, reactions has been manipulated by proper selection of substrates to obtain both enantiomers in high yield.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
