broad range of pharmacological activities. Herein, we report a useful rhodium-catalyzed protocol for the activation of phenylsilane to reduce tertiary β-lactams. Reaction with the tertiary amides was selective over secondary amides, esters, olefins and nitriles, with no erosion of stereochemistry. A one-pot protocol from commercially available starting materials and a selectivereduction of a complex
