✦ Synopsis
Sumary: 3,4-Disubstituted-1-aryl-2-azetidinones of interest for rearrangement to various natural products were prepared by enantiospecific synthesis and their functional groups and absolute configuration were manipulated by stereospecific reactions to produce antipodes.
Recently we2 and others3 have described highly stereoselective synthetic methods leading to optically pure B_lacfams with a variety of substituents. Some of these B_lactams are suitable for rearrangement to various heterocycles.4
For example, we have prepared alkaloid type compcnmds5 and optically active as well as racemic sugar derivatives6 by the stereospecific rearrangeumt of certain B_lactams.
