Carboxy .beta.-lactams by photochemical ring contraction

Abstract: The potential and limitations of the photochemical ring contraction of 3-diazo-2,4-pyrrolidinediones as a route to carboxy p-lactams (2-azetidinone-3-carboxylic acids) are explored. Although the method seems to be a fairly general route from a-amino acids to p-lactams, the difficulty of achieving steric control makes the process not especially promising as a route to natural penicillins and cephalosporins.

“…In this context, the ring contractions of 2‐diazonaphthoquinones ( 1 ) into indene‐3‐carboxylic acid derivatives ( 2 )2−4 and related rearrangements of 3‐diazoquinolin‐4‐ones ( 3 ) into alkyl indole‐3‐carboxylates ( 4 )5−9 have been extensively studied. However, only a few examples of similar rearrangements in the α‐diazoamide series are known 10−12. Such rare examples include the photochemical ring contraction of 4‐diazopyrazolidine‐3,5‐diones into aza‐β‐lactams13,14 and sporadic instances of Wolff rearrangements in the acyclic α‐diazoamide series 15−17.…”

“…24 Second, no Wolff-type rearrangement products were formed in the reactions of the iodonium ylides which would be expected if ketocarbenes were involved as reactive intermediates. 25 However, heterocyclic rather than cyclopropane products have also been reported in carbenoid reactions of diazo compounds with a variety of multiple bonds including nitriles, acetylenes, carbodiimides, aldehydes and isothiocyanates 1a,26 and even with certain olefins. 27 In addition, the reactions of 2-diazonium phenoxides show remarkable similarities to those of the analogous phenyliodonium compounds.…”
