Chiral tris(oxazoline)/Cu(II) catalyzed coupling of terminal alkynes and nitrones.
Novel chiral iPr-tris(oxazoline)/Cu(ClO4)2 x 6H2O catalyzed coupling of terminal acetylenes and nitrones to afford cis-disubstituted beta-lactams is described; the choice of base proves essential to both the diastereoselectivity and the enantioselectivity.
