Product Information

• Name: 4-Acetoxy-2-azetidinone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Acetoxy-2-azetidinone is a model for the synthesis of β-amino acids. It can be allylated at the α position to produce an enolate, which is then reacted with a nitrogen nucleophile to form an α,β unsaturated carbonyl group. The carbonyl group can be hydrolyzed to produce a hydroxyl group or chlorinated to produce a chloride. 4-Acetoxy-2-azetidinone has been used in asymmetric synthesis as a chiral auxiliary.
