Asymmetric synthesis of beta-lactams and pseudopeptides via stereoselective conjugate additions of lithium (alpha-methylbenzyl)-allylamide to alpha,beta-unsaturated iron acyl complexes

Lithium (a-methylbenzyl)allylamide 2 undergoes stereoselective conjugate additions to u,β-unsaturated iron acyl complexes 3a-c to afford β-amino iron acyl adducts 5a-c and 6a-c. These adducts may be deallylated smoothly using palladium(O) catalysis providing the corresponding homochira! secondary am...
