The asymmetric Kinugasa reaction was performed on pure water for the first time without the need for any organic co-solvents. In contrast to most asymmetric Kinugasa reactions, trans-β-lactams were obtained as the major products in good yields, enantioselectivities, and diastereoselectivities (up to 90 % yield, 98 % ee, and >99:1 d.r.). This reaction is atom-economical, environmentally friendly, and affords synthetically useful but challenging products. Walking on water: Asymmetric Kinugasa reactions on pure water without any organic co-solvents afforded synthetically useful trans-β-lactams in good yields, enantioselectivities, and diastereoselectivities (up to 90 % yield, 98 % ee, and >99:1 d.r.).

A series of anhydro-2,3,5-triaryl-4-hydroxythiazolium hydroxides was prepared and desulfurized with Raney nickel.The reduction was stereospecific and gave cis-1,3,4-triphenylazetidin-2-ones.Desulfurization in the presence of triphenylphosphine gave the corresponding trans-azetidinones.Consideration of the possible mechanistic pathways led to the conclusion that the reaction proceeds through formation of biradical-dipole, hydrogenation to a 1,4-dipole, and ring closure.It was also concluded that in the preparation of β-lactams by the nonconcerted cycloaddition of imines and ketenes the first step (dipole formation) is the stereochemistry-determining step.
