Reaction of Imines with Trichloroacetic Esters or Anhydride Promoted by Iron Carbonyl or Microwave Irradiation. Preparation of 3,3-Dichloro-β-Lactams
Abstract
The synthesis of 3,3-dichloroazetidin-2-ones by the reaction of imines and methyl or trimethylsilyl trichloroacetate promoted by diiron nonacarbonyl or by microwave irradiation of imines and trichloroacetic anhydride is described.
