Popis: Asymmetric induction by several chiral alcohols in the reaction of their bromoaceates with imines in the presence of activated Zn (Reformatsky reaction) was studied. Trans -2-phenylcyclohexanol and phenyl menthol gave β-lactam 9 , obtained by cyclizing the diastereoisomeric β-aminoesters 8 , in > 99%ee. The resulting chiral 3-unsubstituted azetidin-2-one 9 was converted to 3-substituted products 11, 12 , and 13 which exhibit cholesterol absorption inhibitory activity.
