An efficient asymmetric approach to the synthesis of trisubstituted azetidin-2-ones is presented.The strategy relies on the use of ketene-imine cycloaddition between ketenes generated from phtalimidoacetic and methoxyacetic acids and a chiral Schiff base (3) derived from 3,4,;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucosamine propane dithioacetal (2) and cinnamaldehyde; the removal of the chiral auxiliary group by β-elimination is a noteworthy facet af this communication.
