    Abstract:
    Lewis acid-promoted carbonyl-ene reaction of enantiomerically pure 4-oxoazetidine-2-carbaldehydes with various activated alkenes gives 4-[(1'-hydroxy)homoallyl]-beta-lactams with a very high level of syn diastereofacial selectivity. The above homoallylic alcohols are used for the diastereoselective preparation of fused bicyclic, tricyclic, and tetracyclic beta-lactams of nonconventional structure using tandem one-pot radical addition/cyclization or elimination-intramolecular Diels-Alder sequences. In addition, a novel domino process was discovered, the C4-N1 beta-lactam bond breakage/intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
