CuFe2O4 nanoparticles acted as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of alkynes and nitrones (Kinugasa reaction) for the synthesis of various 2-azetidinones. In all cases, the reactions proceeded conveniently under mild conditions with good-to-excellent yields and with a wide range of functional-group tolerance. The catalyst could be separated readily using an external magnet. This journal is

Detailed kinetic analysis for the Cu(I)-catalyzed Kinugasa reaction forming β-lactams has revealed an anomalous overall zero-order reaction profile, due to opposing positive and negative orders in nitrone and alkyne, respectively. Furthermore, the reaction displays a second-order dependence on the catalyst, confirming the critical involvement of a postulated bis-Cu complex. Finally, reaction progress analysis of multiple byproducts has allowed a new mechanism, involving a common ketene intermediate to be delineated. Our results demonstrate that β-lactam synthesis through the Kinugasa reaction proceeds via a cascade involving (3 + 2) cycloaddition, (3 + 2) cycloreversion, and finally (2 + 2) cycloaddition. Our new mechanistic understanding has resulted in optimized reaction conditions to dramatically improve the yield of the target β-lactams and provides the first consistent mechanistic model to account for the formation of all common byproducts of the Kinugasa reaction.

A novel strategy to synthesize stereoselective β-lactams has been disclosed via cyclopropenium-ion-catalyzed reaction of substituted acetic acids with aldimines under mild conditions. Products are formed in high yields (86–95%) and good diastereoselectivi
