An investigation of the N-arylsulfonylation of 2-azetidinones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708007305

N-Arylsulfonylation of 2-azetidinones can lead to the diastereoselective formation of oligomerization products. However, a simple increase of arylsulfonyl chloride concentration minimized oligomerization and allowed preparation of 1-arylsulfonyl-2-azetidinones in good yield.
