A novel enantiopure tricyclic β-lactam via stereoselective intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition
摘要:
Starting from the Staudinger [2+2] cycloaddition between the 1-azadiene 1 and acetoxyacetylketene generated in situ from acetoxyacetyl chloride we developed a seven-step synthesis of the novel azeto[3' 4' 2 3]pyrano[4 5-c]pyrazole skeleton 9 in both racemic and enantiopure forms Silver carbonate treatment of the functionalised hydrazonoyl chloride 7 promoted in situ generation of the corresponding nitrilimine 8 which underwent a clean stereoselective cycloaddition to the target tricyclic beta-lactam 9 The key step of the synthetic pathway leading to enantiopure 9 was the production of the enantiopure ezetidinone (3R 4S)-3 by enzymatic resolution with Amano Lypase PS of the racemic precursor (3S* 4R*)-2 (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
