The condensation of the titanium enolates of C-2 alkyl substituted 2-pyridylthioesters with imines affords β-lactams in trans/cis ratios that largely depend on the structure of the C-imine residue. Bulky and non-chelating heteroatom-containing groups lead to the formation of trans β-lactams, while sterically non-requiring or chelating groups favour the formation of the cis-products. On the basis of NMR evidences a rationale is proposed to account for the observed stereoselectivity.

Addition of titanium enolates of 2-pyridyl thioesters to chiral imines derived from alkoxy aldehydes occurs with good diastereofacial control, and opens a simple access to important carbapenem antibiotics.
