Optically active chromium carbene complexes utilizing (S)-valine- and (R)-phenylglycine-derived chiral auxillaries were synthesized and subjected to photolytic reaction with a number of imines. Optically active β-lactams were produced in good to excellent chemical yield and with high diastereoisomeric excess. Procedures for removal of the chiral auxillary to produce the optically active free amino β-lactams were developed.
