N2 - Reaction of iminoesters, R-N=C(H)COOR′, (R = t-Bu, i-Pr ; R′ = Me, Et ) with diethylzinc affords in a selective quantitative reaction trans-β-lactams. An X-ray crystal structure determination of the obtained trans-1-(N-t-butyl)-3-(N-t-butyl-N-ethylamino)-4-methoxy-carbonylazetidin-2-one has been carried out. The formation of the trans-β-lactams is believed to proceed via zinc enolates.
