Modified polyacrylamide supported chlorochromate was synthesized and used as a versatile and efficient oxidizing agent for the oxidation of various organic compounds such as hydroxyl compounds, silylethers, oximes, thiols, and other compounds. Over oxidation of the products (aldehydes to carboxylic acids) was not observed with this oxidizing agent. The oxidant was insoluble in oxidation media and chromium (VI) ions remained firmly bound to the insoluble polymeric support after the oxidation reaction. The mild reaction condition, easy work-up, short reaction times, regenerability of the reagent and its easy preparation and handling are among the advantages of this new polymeric chlorochromate reagent

In the title compound, C22H18N2O5, the four-membered β-lactam ring is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.023 (2) Å for the N atom, and has long C—C distances of 1.525 (5) and 1.571 (5) Å. The mean plane of this group makes dihedral angles of 11.61 (19), 74.5 (2) and 72.3 (2)° with three aromatic rings. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The packing of the mol­ecules in the crystal structure is governed mainly by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding and C—H⋯π stacking inter­actions. Furthermore, a π–π inter­action [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6129 (19) Å] helps to stabilize the crystal structure.

An easily accessible catalyst, nano-sulfated titania, efficiently catalyzes the N-formylation of b-lactams and all types of amines (primary, secondary, aromatic, and aliphatic) in solvent-free conditions at room temperature.
