S. Ruf et Hh. Otto, 3-(PROP-2-ENYLIDENE)AZETIDIN-2-ONE DERIVATIVES - SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND FORMATION OF 3-SPIRO-BETA-LACTAMS VIA DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS, Helvetica Chimica Acta, 78(3), 1995, pp. 629-635
Reactions of 3-silylated beta-lactams (1) with alpha,beta-unsaturated
ketones give the propylidene-beta-lactams 3 and the cycloalkenylidene
derivatives 5. Structure and configuration are elucidated by spectrosc
opic methods, and the reactivity is discussed. While compounds 5 do no
t react with dienophiles, the (Z)-isomers of 3 are the favored substra
tes for Diels-Alder reactions yielding the spiro compounds 6 and 7.
