Pseudomonas aeruginosa displays an impressive metabolic versatility, which ensures its survival in diverse environments. Reported herein is the identification of rare azetidine-containing alkaloids from P. aeruginosa PAO1, termed azetidomonamides, which are derived from a conserved, quorum-sensing regulated nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) pathway. Biosynthesis of the azetidine motif has been elucidated by gene inactivation, feeding experiments, and biochemical characterization in vitro, which involves a new S-adenosylmethionine-dependent enzyme to produce azetidine 2-carboxylic acid as an unusual building block of NRPS. The mutants of P. aeruginosa unable to produce azetidomonamides had an advantage in growth at high cell density in vitro and displayed rapid virulence in Galleria mellonella model, inferring functional roles of azetidomonamides in the host adaptation. This work opens the avenue to study the biological functions of azetidomonamides and related compounds in pathogenic and environmental bacteria.

2-Carboxylated aza-rings have been synthesized in two steps through a highly selective monohalogenation of N-sulfonylated lactams of various ring sizes (from 5- to 8-membered rings) followed by a ring contraction reaction. The selective monohalogenation of N-sulfonyl lactams has been achieved in modest to excellent yields (9 examples, 39–96%) using N-halogenosuccinimides via the in situ generation of trimethylsilyl ketene aminal derivatives. The so-obtained α-halogeno N-sulfonyl lactams were engaged in a ring opening/ring closing reaction in the presence of various alcohols or anilines under basic conditions affording 2-carboxylated aza-rings, such as azetidine, pyrrolidine or piperidine derivatives in high yields (24 examples, 61–99%).
Practical asymmetric preparation of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid

Facile and straightforward syntheses of both enantiomers of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid are described. The syntheses depart from inexpensive chemicals and allow for the production, in five to six steps, of practical quantities of each enantiomer. Synthetic highlights include the construction of the azetidine ring using an intramolecular alkylation and the use of optically active α-methylbenzylamine as chiral auxiliary.
