Abstract

Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of α-diazocarbonyl compounds or N-tosylhydrazone salts under atmospheric pressure of CO enables an efficient and mild approach toward ketene intermediates. These ketenes can react in situ with various nucleophiles to yield carboxylic acid derivates or in Staudinger cycloadditions to give β-lactam derivatives in good yields with excellent trans diastereoselectivity.
