The stereoselective [2+ 2] cycloadditions of azidoketene to ri. s-3-imino-3-lactams 1, 2, and 3, ira «i-3-imino-/3-lactam4, and as-3-irninoazetidine 5 were carried out. It was found that the reactions of 1, 2, and 3 proceeded with> 99.5% stereoselectivity to give bis-3-lactams 9, 14, and 19, respectively. The reaction of 4 gave a bis-3-lactam 20 with 62% de, and the reaction of 5 gave a 3-lactamazetidine 21 with 32% de inducing the asymmetry in the opposite direction. These results clearly indicate that, in addition to the conventional steric effects, the lone pair-lone pair interaction of 3-lactam oxygen with the intermediate betaine’s oxygen is the crucial factor for the extremely stereoselective [2+ 2] cycloadditionof azidoketene to 1, 2, and 3. Possible mechanisms for these stereoselective [2+ 2] cycloadditions are proposed. The X-ray crystal structure of 3a and the calculated energy-minimum conformations of 3a, 4, and 5 with model-mm2-rotochem programs are provided.The [2+ 2] cycloadditionof ketene species to¡ mines serves as one of the most convenient methods for the synthesis of the 3-lactam skeleton, and thus the reaction has been used for a variety of 3-lactam antibiotic syntheses. 3 In the course of our study on the use of homochiral3-lactams as key intermediates of oligopeptide syntheses, 4 we found that the [2+ 2] cycloaddition of azidoketene to a benzylideneamine bearing a homochiral 3-lactam backbone (la, lb) proceeded with extremely high stereoselectivity to give an optically pure bis-3-lactam. 5** Although the synthetic importance of the reaction was obvious, we could not rationalize such high stereoselectivity atall based on the usual stereochemical considerations by using Dreiding models and CPK models, viz., the conformationof the imine and the approach of the ketene seemed to have so much freedom that any predictions seemed arbitrary. Accordingly, we planned to clarify the crucial factors which governed the stereochemical course of this uniqueasym-metric [2+ 2] cycloaddition by using a series of homochiral di-3-imino-3-lactam 3, zra «5-3-imino-3-lactam 4, and m-3-im-inoazetidine 5 as substrates and found unexpectedly strong lone pair-lone pair interactions (dipole-dipole interaction and/or electrostatic interaction) which controlled the stereochemistry of the reaction. We would like to describe here remarkable effects of 3-lactam carbonyl lone pairs as a crucial factor for extremely selective [2+ 2] cycloadditions.
