Addition reactions of acid chlorides with various 2-substituted 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-5-(methylsulfanyl)-1,3-thiazoles under basic conditions were studied. Two kinds of products were obtained from these additions, β-lactams and non-β-lactam adducts. When the reaction was carried out with 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazoles with a Ph substituent at C(2), the reaction proceeded via formal [2+2] cycloaddition and led to the correspoding β-lactam. On the other hand, acid chlorides and 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazoles bearing an α-H-atom at the C(2)-substituent underwent C(α)- and/or N-addition reactions and furnished non-β-lactam adducts, i.e., C(α)- and/or N-acylated 1,3-thiazolidines. The attempted transformations of sulfonyl esters of exo-6-hydroxy penams to endo-6-azido penams failed, although they were successful with mono-β-lactams under the same conditions. Copyright

Chiral α-hydroxy-β-lactams are key fragments of many bioactive compounds and antibiotics, and the development of efficient synthetic methods for these compounds is of great value. The highly enantioselective dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of α-keto-β-lactams was realized via a novel proton shuttling strategy. A wide range of α-keto-β-lactams were reduced efficiently and enantioselectively by Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation, providing the corresponding α-hydroxy-β-lactam derivatives with high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 92% yield, up to 94% ee). Deuterium-labelling experiments indicate that phenylphosphinic acid plays a pivotal role in the DKR of α-keto-β-lactams by promoting the enolization process. The synthetic potential of this protocol was demonstrated by its application in the synthesis of a key intermediate of Taxol and (+)-epi-Cytoxazone. This journal is
