N-Arylazetidin-2-ones of the general form 1, which are readily prepared by GoldbergBuchwald-type copper-catalyzed coupling of N-unsubstituted azetidin-2-ones with the relevant aryl halide or using Mitsunobu cyclization processes, undergo smooth Fries-rearrangement in triflic acid at 018°C to give the isomeric 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinolones (2). Dehydrogenation of the latter compounds using 10% Pd on C in 1.0M aqueous sodium hydroxide/propan-2-ol mixtures at ca. 82°C provides the corresponding 4(1H)-quinolones (3).

C4-Unsubstituted β-lactams 3 are conveniently prepared from easily available 4-formyl-β-lactams 1, in a sequential three step synthesis, using as the key step a radical reductive decarbonylation of 4-carboxy derivatives through their phenyl selenoesters 2.

The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 4-formyl-β-lactams 1 with m-CPBA gave 4-(formyloxy) β-lactams 2 in a simple, efficient, and totally stereoselective process. This reaction is one of the scarce examples of the preferred migration of a carbon moiety in an aliphatic aldehyde. The influence of the substituents at N1 and C3 of the four-membered ring in the Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement has been studied. Thus, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, and alkyloxy 3-substituted-1-(p-anisyl)-2-azetidinones 1 form exclusively 4-(formyloxy) β-lactams 2. Amide or acetoxy substituents at C3 of the four membered ring produce mixtures of 4-(formyloxy) β-lactams 2 and 4-carboxy β-lactams 5. The exclusive formation of carboxy derivatives is observed sometimes for 1-alkyl-substituted-2-azetidinones 1. 4-(Formyloxy) β-lactams 2 are suitable starting materials to prepare different 4-unsubstituted β-lactams 9 using β-hydroxy amides 8 as isolable intermediates. The overall transformation 4-formyl-2-azetidinone to 4-unsubstituted β-lactam is an easy and convenient stereoselective route to these interesting types of compounds.
