Novel Prospects of the Acidic Thermal Rearrangement of Spiro[cyclopropane‐1,5′‐isoxazolidines] to β‐Lactams

Abstract
Monocyclic β‐lactams were synthesized by a 1,3‐cycloaddition/thermal rearrangement process in the presence of a protic acid, starting from methylenecyclopropane derivatives and acyclic nitrones. Five‐membered cyclic nitrones failed to give carbapenam structures under the same conditions, affording exclusively the corresponding N‐trifluoroacetyl β‐amino acid derivatives in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid.
