A facile conversion of 2-substituted acrylamides to 1,3-disubstituted 3-bromo-2-azetidinones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308009807

N-Substituted 2,3-dibromo-2-alkylacrylamides obtained by the bromination of 2-alkylacrylamides were converted to 1,3-disubstituted 3-bromo-2-azetidinones in excellent yields upon treatment with potassium carbonate in acetone under refluxing.
