The Lipolase-catalyzed ring opening of racemic 4-benzyl- 3 and 4-phenylethyl-2-azetidinone 4 was performed with 0.5 equiv of H2O in diisopropyl ether at 45 °C. The resulting (S)-β-amino acid 5 or 6 (ee ≥ 87%) and (R)-β-lactam 7 or 8 (ee >99%) enantiomers could easily be separated. The ring opening of enantiomeric β-lactams with 18% aqueous HCl afforded the corresponding enantiopure β-amino acid hydrochlorides 9 and 10 (ee >99%).

A simple chemoenzymatic method for the preparation of the enantiomers of 4-benzyl-β-lactam (4-benzylazetidin-2-one) from allylbenzene has been described. The enantiomers of this key intermediate have been used to produce the corresponding enantiomers of β-phenylalanine and N-Boc-protected β-phenylalanine amide through the simple cleavage of the lactam ring by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and by ammonolysis, respectively. Burkholderia cepacia lipase-catalyzed kinetic double resolution techniques were responsible for achieving enantiopurity in the products. This was performed through the acylation of N-hydroxymethylated β-lactam followed by the butanolysis of the obtained (S)-ester. Direct lipase-catalyzed cleavage of the β-lactam ring has also been studied.

The development of novel monobactam inhibitors of HCMV protease incorporating a carbon side chain at C-4 and a urea function at N-1 is described. Substitution with small groups at the C-3 position of the β- lactam ring gave an increase in enzymatic activity and in stability; however, a lack of selectivity against other serine proteases was noted. The use of both triand tetrasubstituted urea functionalities gave effective inhibitors of HCMV protease. Benzyl substitution of the urea moiety was beneficial, especially when strong electron-withdrawing groups where attached at the para position. Modest antiviral activity was found in a plaque reduction assay.
