Abstract

Various routes to a variety of azridine-2-carboxylates have been described and the stereochemistry of these compounds has been determined by spectroscopic methods. Further, greater diversity of β-lactams via ring expansion of these azridines-2-carboxylates were obtained by a general, efficient and direct stereospecific approach.
