An Asymmetric Domino Three-Component Synthesis of β-Lactams.-Treatment of dialkyl cuprates either in a domino three-component or a sequential one-pot fashion with chiral Michael acceptors and the imine (III) bearing an electron-withdrawing C-substituent efficiently yields cis-α-alkyl-βlactams. The reaction with imines bearing electron-withdrawing N-substituents leads to trans-α-alkyl-β-lactams.With unactivated imines, no β-lactam formation is observed. -(PALOMO, C.; AIZPURUA, J.
