Abstract
exo-Methylene-β-lactams were synthesized in two steps from commercially available 3-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)propionic acid and reacted with arene diazonium salts in a Heck-type arylation with high exo- and E-selectivity in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2 under ligand-free conditions. The reaction provides arylidene-β-lactams in high yields as single isomers.
