4-Aryl-azetidin-2-ones (β-lactams) undergo ring opening with triflic acid to give cinnamamides which, in benzene, react further to give 3-aryl-3-phenyl-propionamides. Prolonged reaction times in benzene give 3,3-diphenyl-propionamide via an aryl/phenyl ex

A simple and efficient direct enzymatic method was developed for the synthesis of 4-aryl-substituted β-lactams and the corresponding β-amino acid enantiomers through the CAL-B (lipase B from Candida antarctica)-catalyzed enantioselective (E > 200) ring cleavage of the corresponding racemic β-lactams with 1 equiv. of H2O in i-Pr2O at 60°C. The product (R)-β-amino acids (ee ≥ 98%, yields ≥ 42%) and unreacted (S)-β-lactams (ee ≥ 95%, yields ≥ 41%) could be easily separated. The ring opening of enantiomeric β-lactams with 18% HCl afforded the corresponding enantiopure β-amino acid hydrochlorides (ee ≥ 99%).
