A facile and expeditious approach for the synthesis of 2-azetidinone derivatives via a multicomponent reaction

The facile and efficient synthesis of novel monocyclic cis-β-lactam conjugates with a 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol nucleus

We developed a facile and efficient synthesis of novel monocyclic cis-β-lactam conjugates with a 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol nucleus through a ketene-imine [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of acyl chloride and different Schiff bases.

One-step Synthesis of β-lactams Using Cyanuric Fluoride

Cyanuric fluoride works as an efficient acid activator reagent for the direct [2+2] ketene–imine cycloaddition of substituted acetic acids and imines in a one-pot synthesis under mild conditions. The yields are good to excellent and the reaction conditions are mild, simple and efficient.

One-Pot Sequence Synthesis of Azetidin-2-One Using Diethyl Chlorophosphate

A simple and convenient synthesis of 2-azetidinone derivatives from the reaction of a pre-mixture of amines and aldehydes with carboxylic acids in the presence of diethyl chlorophosphate by [2+2] cycloaddition reaction is described. Separation and purification of imines as intermediates were not required. The methodology is convenient and good to excellent yields of products were obtained with simple purification.
