Abstract

The stereoselective reaction of 4-oxoazetidine-2-carbaldehydes and their corresponding imines with cyanide-based reagents give β-lactam α-aminonitriles, which are chameleonic building blocks for the controlled synthesis of a variety of new compounds including functionalized γ-lactams, succinimide derivatives, and diamino-lactams derivatives in optically pure form.
