THE ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF BETA-LACTAMS - STEREOCONTROLLED ASYMMETRIC TANDEM MICHAEL ADDITIONS AND ALKYLATIONS OF ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED ACYL LIGANDS BOUND TO THE CHIRAL AUXILIARY [BETA-C5H5)FE(CO)(PPH3)]

Michael addition of lithium benzylamide to the enantiomerically pure (S)-E-crotonyl complex of [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3)] followed by trapping of the resultant enolate with methyl iodide or methanol occurs with high diastereoselectivity and gives after decomplexation the essentially optically pure (3R)...
