Optically active 3-fluoro-beta-lactams 4 and 5 were prepared via a ketene-imine cycloaddition reaction using fluoroacetyl chloride and an imine derived from (R)-glyceraldehyde acetonide. The high stereoselectivity observed can be rationalized as a consequence of stereoelectronic effects. Deprotonated beta-lactams 4 and 12 were reacted with alkylating agents to give exclusively cis-3-alkyl-substituted derivatives of 3-fluoro beta-lactams. The directed aldol reaction of beta-lactams 4 and 12 with aldehydes and ketones provides cis-3-hydroxyalkyl derivatives with high stereoselectivity; however, diastereoisomeric control was not maintained at the hydroxylated carbon atom. The desired stereochemistry in the side chain was achieved by reduction of 3-acetyl-3-fluoro beta-lactam 22. The lithium enolates of beta-lactams 4 and 12 have been investigated by low-temperature F-19 NMR studies.
