The reactivity profile of lithiated N-Boc-2-arylazetidines has been investigated filling a gap in the chemistry of this class of four-membered heterocycles. Two unexpected and unprecedented results have been observed: an "ortho-effect" accounting for the regioselective functionalization of the azetidine ring, and self-condensation leading to new and interesting azetidine-based peptidomimetics.
A new route to enantiopure β-aryl-substituted β-amino acids and 4-aryl-substituted β-lactams through lipase-catalyzed enantioselective ring cleavage of β-lactams

A simple and efficient direct enzymatic method was developed for the synthesis of 4-aryl-substituted β-lactams and the corresponding β-amino acid enantiomers through the CAL-B (lipase B from Candida antarctica)-catalyzed enantioselective (E > 200) ring cleavage of the corresponding racemic β-lactams with 1 equiv. of H2O in i-Pr2O at 60°C. The product (R)-β-amino acids (ee ≥ 98%, yields ≥ 42%) and unreacted (S)-β-lactams (ee ≥ 95%, yields ≥ 41%) could be easily separated. The ring opening of enantiomeric β-lactams with 18% HCl afforded the corresponding enantiopure β-amino acid hydrochlorides (ee ≥ 99%).

Conrotatory ring closure of 1-halo-3-aza-4-alkyl-1,3-dienes in refluxing toluene gives rise to 3-halo-4-aryl-2-azetidinones in satisfactory yields. Dehalogenation of the resulting β-lactams by tris(trimethylsilyl)silane furnished 3-unsubstituted azetidino
