Rhodium (I) complexes catalyze the regiospecific ring expansion-carbonylation reaction of aziridines to/3-lactams. This process is both stereospecific and enantiospecific, occurring with retention of configuration [eg,(S)-l-tm-butyl-2-phenylaziridine is converted to (5)-1-ZerZ-butyl-3-phenylazetidin-2-one]. The synthesis of/3-lactams in high opticalpurity, from racemic aziridines, can be realized by using the dimer of chloro (1, 5-cyclooctadiene) rhodium (I) as the catalyst and d-or/-menthol as an added chiral agent. The recovered aziridine is also obtained infine optical yield.
