A simple and efficient procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of novel monocyclic cis-β-lactams, pharmaceutically fascinating and potential synthons have been developed. The reaction of ketene derived insitu from phenoxyacetyl chloride with tetralone substituted imines resulted in the exclusive formation of monocyclic cis-β-lactams containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole nucleus by [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. The structures of all the novel synthesized monocyclic cis-β-lactams were verified using various spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, HRMS, and elemental analysis (CHN). The cis configuration of β-lactams was deduced using the coupling constant (J) value of H-3 and H-4. The prominent features of this work are simple reaction conditions, good yields, easy isolation of products, and no column chromatography separation. All products were obtained by a simple crystallization technique.itors of human cytomegalovirus protein, [15][16] HIV-1 protease, [17] fatty acid synthase, [18] prostate-specific antigen (PSA), [19,20] thrombin, [21] human leukocyte elastase, [22] and cholesterol absorption.

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.
