Abstract
An experimentally attractive stereoselective 'one pot' synthesis of β- lactams is described. This route is based on the zinc mediated condensation of an α-amino acid ester with an imine via a zinc ester enolate. Making use of proper substituents in both the amino acid ester and the imine the stereochemistry of the C-C bond forming step can be completely controlled.
