title: Asymmetric synthesis of anticancer beta-lactams via Staudinger reaction: utilization of chiral ketene from carbohydrate.
abstract: We describe herein asymmetric synthesis of a novel anticancer beta-lactam following Staudinger reaction with chiral carbohydrate as the ketene component with an achiral imine. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies of these beta-lactams are also reported here.
