A study on the asymmetric construction of quaternary stereogenic centers via [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of ketenes with ketimines is described. Reaction of achiral ketenes and chiral α-alkoxy ketone-derived imines resulted in formation of new β-lactams as single diastereomers. The cycloaddition was extended to pyruvate imines, aralkyl ketone-derived imines, and dialkyl ketimines. In these cases the asymmetric induction was satisfactorily achieved using β-silylalkanoyl ketenes and the Evans-Sjogren ketene. C,C-Bis (trimethylsilyl)methylamine ketimines derived from enolizable dialkyl ketones cleanly led to the corresponding C(4) disubstituted β-lactams without deprotonation. Therefore, a general methodology for a convergent asymmetric synthesis of β-lactams in which C(4) exists as a quaternary carbon is provided.

A new one step synthesis of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid N-carboxy anhydrides from α-hydroxy β-lactams and their coupling with α-aminoesters promoted by KCN is described.
