Synthesis of 1-oxacephams via improved cyclization of N-substituted-4- formyloxyazetidin-2-ones

The Lewis acid promoted cyclisation of N-substituted-4- formyloxyazetidin-2-ones, easily available from 4-vinyloxyazetidin-2-one is described. The efficiency of the ring closure reaction, to give 1-oxacephams, depends on the oxygen protected-activated group and the Lewis acid.

Stereocontrolled synthesis of 1-oxacepham from 4-vinyloxyazetidin-2-one, a new building block

A new methodology for 1-oxacepham synthesis is described. Readily available 4-vinyloxyazetidin-2-one 2 is shown to be a useful building block for β-lactam synthesis. N-Alkylation of 2 is followed by oxidation of the vinyloxy group to give 4-acyloxy-N-substituted azetidin-2-ones suitable for nucleophilic displacement at the C-4 carbon atom. The ring closure reaction offers high stereoselectivity.
