Abstract

We report a synthesis of pharmaceutically important α-hydroxy (or t-butyldimethylsilyl protected α-hydroxy)-β-lactams with functionalized chains in position 4 of the azetidinone ring. A convenient and high-yielding route to these compounds was developed and optimized. Preparation and characterization of several new enantiopure title compounds with various functional groups are discussed.
