ChemInform Abstract 3,4-Disubstitued 1-aryl-2-azetidinones such as the compounds (I) -(III), which are possible precursors of various natural products, are prepared by enantiospecific synthesis. Their functional groups and absolute configurations are manipulated by stereospecific reactions to produce the corresponding antipodes.
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.
