Abstract

A versatile and convenient method for synthesis of β-lactams using 3,6-dichlorotetrazine as an acid activator in the ketene–imine cycloaddition is reported. Monocyclic and spirocyclic β-lactams are obtained in good to excellent yields. Easy purification of the products can be performed by aqueous workup and then crystallisation from ethyl acetate.
