The asymmetric [2+2]cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to Z an
d E -O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-alpha-D-xylofuranoses proceeds with e
xcellent stereoselectivity affording cis azetidinone 12 from cis olefi
n and trans azetidine 13 from trans olefin, whereas in both cases a co
nfiguration is induced at C-4' of the azetidin-2-one ring. Intramolecu
lar cyclization of azetidinones 16 and 17 affords respective diasterom
