Incorporation of two molecules of carbon monoxide into N-lithioketimine leading to azetidine-2,3-diones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808007173

The reaction of N-lithioketimines 1, prepared in situ from R¹CN (R¹ = t-Bu, 1-adamantyl, CH₃OCH₂(CH₃)₂C) and R²Li (R² = t-Bu, s-Bu), with CO followed by addition of MeI affords azetidine-2,3-diones 2 in 40-86% yields. The reaction involves incorporation of two molecules of CO into the N- lithioketimine.
