Chromium Carbene

The photochemical reaction of chromium carbene complexes with imines has been developed into an efficient process for the synthesis of β-lactams. A new route to aminocarbene complexes, involving the reaction of Na 2 Cr(CO) 5 with amides and trimethylsilyl chloride has been developed. By using this procedure, chiral, optically active aminocarbene complexes have been prepared, and their photochemical reactions with imines developed. Chiral, optically active β-lactams have been prepared with more than 90% diastereoselectivity by this procedure. Chiral, optically active aminocarbene complexes containing pendent alcohol groups have also been prepared. Photolysis of these produces aminolactones, which can be cleaved to natural and unnatural α-amino acids.
