Abstract

Reaction of the 2-azabutadiene 1 with α-lithioesters 2a,b gave N-styryl-2-azetidinones 3a,b in high yields in contrast to the δ-lactam formation of 1-azadienes with 2. The azines 7a,b also reacted with the enolate 2a to result in β-lactam formation: N-alkylidenamino-2-azetidinones 8a,b and/or 1,1’-bi(2-azetidinone)s 9a,b were obtained in good yields.
