Prochiral imine chromium complexes derived from the racemic (5-N,N-dimethylamino-7-formyl-1,3-benzodioxole)chromium complex 4 and several amines reacted with acetoxyketene, generated from its corresponding acid chloride and triethylamine, to produce the corresponding β-lactam complexes 6a, 6b and 6c with complete control of cis-diastereoseletivity. In a similar manner, the imine condensation of the chiral imine complexes 11a and 11b, derived from the chiral aldehyde complex 4I, not only provides complete cis-diastereoselection of the β-lactam complexes 12a and 12b, but remarkable enantioselectivities as well. X-ray crystal structures of 4I and 12a were obtained and the mechanics implications within the context of the general mnode proposed by several authors for the stereochemical outcome of the Staudinger reaction are in agreement with these results.
