Significance
A flexible and stereoselective synthesis of azetidin-3-ones has been developed. The products are obtained via a gold-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of chiral N-propargylsulfonamides. Capitalizing on the chiral tert-butylsulfinimine chemistry, the azetidin-3-ones were formed with excellent enantioselectivities.
