7.1 Introduction
Staudinger cycloaddition between ketenes and Schiff bases for the synthesis of β-lactams was discovered in 19 0 7.1 Since then, it has become one of the most attractive methods for an efcient and stereoselective method for the synthesis of β-lactams.2 This important process generally uses diverse ketene precursors: acyl chlorides3 and diazo ketones.
In this chapter, a few experimental-computational studies to identify the mechanism of the cycload-
dition reaction for β-lactam synthesis are described. To identify the origin of the stereochemical out­come of this reaction is crucial, but it is a highly complicated process and still it remains a challenging objective.
The most important aim is that substituted β-lactams can be directly prepared by this method. The
structures of the reactants are very crucial in the formation of the β-lactams. All experimental conditions are necessary to follow to describe the most probable mechanism successfully.

7.2 Re su lts
Staudinger cycloaddition reaction toward β-lactams is an example of low-energy [2+2] thermal cycload­dition process, for which the least motion supra–supra approach is symmetry forbidden.5 Rather, the reactants avoid the symmetry but demand [pi2s+pi2s] thermal route through a stepwise mechanism.6 This reaction involves a sequential formation of the N1–C2 and C3–C4 bonds of the β-lactam through a con­vergent process (Scheme 7.1).
Cossio et al. conducted numerous seminal mechanistic studies on Staudinger cycloaddition reaction.7 They demonstrated that the rst step of the process is a nucleophilic reaction of the nitrogen of the Schiff base on the sp-hybridized carbon of the ketene (originated from one of the reactants). This was formed through a rapid reaction, and the transition structure TS1, a specic zwitterionic intermediate INT, was developed spontaneously (Scheme 7.1). Then cycloadduct (the nal product) was produced through the unstable intermediate by a conrotatory ring cyclization associated with one of these transition state struc­tures, TS2. In principle, this was similar with an intramolecular Mannich reaction of the enolate species with an electrophilic iminium component.8 The intramolecular nature of this second step and the par­ticipation of the frontier orbital of the intermediate INT were responsible in creating a rapid conrotatory

pathway in the formation of the second transition structure TS2. The latter step underwent torquoelec­tronic effects, an effective and powerful process that dictated the nal stereochemistry of the products.
The substituents present in the reactive starting materials indicated the stereochemistry of the prod-
9, 10
uct.
To predict the conguration of the β-lactams seemed impossible as it depends on a number of fac-
tors. The formation of the trans-isomer of a β-lactam was postulated due to the rotation about the N1–C4 bond in the corresponding intermediates.11 In contrast, the cis-product was formed not because of a rota­tion of this bond. Our group12 demonstrated that polyaromatic imines in some examples produce the cor­responding trans-cycloadducts instead of the cis-cycloadducts. Studies on the stereochemistry of these β-lactams were highly necessary as they are potent anticancer compounds.13 Cossio et al. conducted a new computational study7 on this method and showed that the kinetic distribution of the cis:trans ratio of the products can be explained in terms of the E/Z isomerization of the starting imines.
Like acid chlorides, chromium(0)–carbenes were also used as the ketene precursors in this cycloaddi-
13–17
tion.
These chromium complexes acted like ketenes when these are irradiated or reacted with imines
to form the β-lactams. A rearrangement of the carbonyl yielded metallo-zwitterions under the reaction conditions, which produce the products through a conrotatory ring cyclization. The cis–trans stereo­chemical feature was originated during the nucleophilic reaction pathway of the nitrogen of the imine to the oxygen-coordinated ketene portion. It was apparent that there were no differences in the conrotatory ring closure between the non-metallated and the metallated processes that produce 2-azetidinones in good yield (Scheme 7.2).

7.2.1 Stereochemical Outcome in the Synthesis of Racemic Monocyclic β-Lactams
To focus on the mechanism of a reaction, it is necessary to know about the reactants, reagents, sol­vents, and conditions of the process. All of these had a role in the synthesis and mechanism of monocy­clic β-lactam formation. For a comparative study, all conditions of the experiments must be described adequately.
Racemic monocyclic β-lactam synthesis was performed by reacting acid chloride (activated acid) with 1,2-substituted imine in the presence of triethylamine/(or another tertiary base) at cold conditions (0–5°C) using a solvent (benzene, toluene, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, and DMF) and then con- tinuing the reaction at room temperature. Following these conditions, 1,2-diaryl imines with acetoxy, phenoxy, benzyloxy, and methoxyacetyl chloride gave exclusively cis-β-lactams regardless of the struc­ture of the imines (derived from aromatic or aliphatic compounds).
On the other hand, phenylthioacetyl chloride under the same conditions produced trans-β-lactams. A mixture of cis- and trans-β-lactams was obtained with 1,2-dialkyl, 1-aryl-2-alkyl, or 1-alkyl-2-aryl Schiff bases with these acid chlorides. Phthalimidoacetyl chloride also gave a mixture of two β-lactams under this condition. However, crotonyl chloride and unsaturated acid chloride failed to yield any β-lactams at room temperature or cold conditions. But at high temperature, the products were obtained mostly as trans-isomers. A small yield of the cis-isomer was seen with 1-aryl-2-alkyl or 1-alkyl-2-aryl imines. Interestingly, crotonyl chloride type of acid chloride produced cis-β-lactams with N-alkyl-2­carbomethoxy, N-aryl-2-carbomethoxy, N-alkyl-2-methylketone, N-aryl-2-methyl ketone, and conju­gated Schiff bases.
All electron-withdrawing groups at the nitrogen of the Schiff bases gave trans-β-lactams. The substit­uent nature in the acid chloride with chiral features did not have any effects on this reaction, if electron­withdrawing groups were linked to the nitrogen of the imines. Schiff bases derived from polyaromatic amines and aromatic aldehyde in general gave trans-β-lactams. Moreover, conjugated Schiff bases derived from conjugated carbonyl systems produced cis-β -lactams regardless of the groups present in them or in acid chloride. These results conrmed that the groups present at the -C of the Schiff base is also very important in controlling the conguration of the β-lactams that can be prepared by cycloaddi­tion reaction.
7.2.2 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Optically Active β-Lactams
Synthesis of chiral β-lactams using different optically active compounds was investigated. These stud­ies established structural requirements on the enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of the β-lactam formation reaction.
7.2.3 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Chiral
β-Lactams Derived from Chiral Aldehydes
Optically active Schiff bases derived from chiral aldehydes and amines (aromatic, aliphatic, alkenyl, alkynyl) produced cis-β-lactams. The absolute conguration of the β-lactams was controlled by the asymmetry of the rst carbon of the aldehyde (or the carbonyl compound). The other optically active centers present in the aldehydes or carbonyl compounds had no effects on the absolute conguration of the product β-lactams. Chiral aldehydes in some cases failed to yield β-lactams even in low yield.
7.2.4 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Optically
Active β-Lactams Derived from Chiral Amines
Reaction of Schiff bases derived from chiral amines and racemic carbonyl molecules gave a mixture of cis- and trans-β-lactams in different proportions. Sterically crowded chiral amines were found to be superior in terms of enantioselectivity of the process. These types of amines gave a cis-isomer preferen­tially at cold conditions or at room temperature.

7.2.5 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Chiral
β-Lactams Derived from Chiral Ketenes
Optically active Schiff bases obtained from chiral ketenes and racemic imines gave unpredictable results when synthesis of β-lactams was considered. A single or a mixture of cis- and trans-β-lactams was obtained depending upon the nature of the chiral acid chloride (equivalent). It appeared that the rst asymmetric carbon next to the chiral ketene has an inuence on the production of the chiral compounds.
7.2.6 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Chiral β-Lactams
Derived from Chiral Aldehydes and Chiral Amines
These types of methods gave a mixture of chiral cis-β-lactams in varying proportions. It was difcult to predict the isomer ratios since the reaction was dependent on the asymmetric nature of both the aldehyde and amine components. It was not possible to determine the predominant part.
7.2.7 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Optically Active
β-Lactams Derived from Chiral Aldehydes and Chiral Ketenes
These reactions gave a mixture of chiral cis-β-lactams with 2-hydroxy acid chlorides. In some instances, a mixture of cis- and trans-products was obtained. To predict the isomeric ratios of the β-lactams was not possible since the reaction depends on the conguration of both chiral compounds. In a few examples, the method gave isomeric mixtures.
7.2.8 Stereochemical Observations in the Synthesis of Optically Active β-Lactams
Derived from Chiral Aldehydes, Chiral Amines, and Chiral Ketenes
These reactions gave a mixture of chiral cis- and trans-β-lactams in varying proportions if all reactants are chiral. It was not possible to determine the main factors that are responsible for the stereochemical preference.
7.2.9 Conditions of the β-Lactam Synthesis: Experimental Procedure
The reactions described above to prepare racemic and optically active β-lactams were conducted at cold or room temperature. In general, acid chloride solution (in dichloromethane, dichloroethane, benzene, toluene, THF, and DMF) was added to a solution of the Schiff base containing triethylamine (or any other tertiary amine). The variation of the conditions of the reactions affected the yields and stereose­lectivity of the products. In particular, the temperature of the process, heating pattern, heating source, nature of the solvent, order of addition of the reagents, and rate of addition affected the yield and stereo­chemistry of the β-lactams.
7.3 Mechanism of Staudinger Reaction
Staudinger cycloaddition for the synthesis of β-lactams has been known for the past more than hundred years. As stated before, the mechanism and the stereochemical outcome of this reaction remained com­plicated as these are highly specic. A generalization on this subject was difcult to do. Research on this subject had resulted in numerous publications. Considering many factors and based upon the results, a proposal on a two-step zwitterionic mechanism was advanced. It appeared that this two-step mechanism is accepted by majority of the scientists. Nevertheless, there were no generalizations.
Importantly, the mechanism on zwitterionic intermediate formation was supported by spectroscopic studies and trapping experiments. The zwitterion intermediate was speculated from a ketene that is gen­erated during the process.

It was believed that the least unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the ketene carbonyl intermedi­ate is attacked by the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the Schiff base through an orthogo­nal approach method. This was in the plane perpendicular to the groups of the ketene, which resulted in the formation of the zwitterionic structure. This explanation was supported and realized by semiempiri­cal molecular orbital calculation studies (MNDO) of the activated unstable intermediate in the reaction of methyl ketene and N-methyl-2-methylimine.
This mechanistic route suggested that the attack of the Schiff base takes place from the less hindered side of the ketene, and this resulted in the formation of the zwitterion. A subsequent rotation of the Schiff base moiety into the plane of the unstable ketene and a conrotatory ring closure method produced the thermodynamically less stable β-lactams. The conrotatory ring annulation was successful in the clock­wise direction entirely because a ring closure process in anticlockwise direction was not possible. For this process to occur, this would require the imine and ketene substituents to pass through each other. These stereochemical origins explained the conguration of the products that are formed from acyclic imines and ketenes (Scheme 7.3).
It seemed that the substituent R on the sp2 carbon center is able to stabilize a positive charge. An isom­erization of the zwitterionic species was feasible from the more stable imine to the syn-imine structure before cyclization process. This operation produced the thermodynamically more stable trans-β-lactam as the product.19 This happened experimentally with imidates and thioamides. Benzaldimines gave simi­lar results with additional requirements and restrictions. If a large amino R substituent was present, this isomerization is prevented. An isomerization of the zwitterionic species was possible by the addition of nucleophile followed by a rotation and elimination route. The rate of these processes was able to deter­mine the stereoselectivity of the reaction. With cyclic Schiff base, a trans-β-lactam was the main product because the substituent in imines is located in syn-geometry (Scheme 7.4).

The origin of stereoselectivity in the Staudinger cycloaddition was focused, and the kinetic origin of the cis:trans ratio of β-lactam formation was analyzed. Accordingly, the experimental observations indicated an intramolecular nucleophilic addition pathway but not an electrocyclic route in the cycliza­tion operation. The electron distribution power and the delocalization power of the substituents were the main components in the stereoselectivity of the reaction. Therefore, the electron-donating ketenes and the electron-withdrawing imines favored the ring closure (increase k1), leading to cis-β-lactams. Certain groups in the ketenes and imines made them electron donating or electron withdrawing. On the other hand, electron-withdrawing ketene substituents and electron-donating imine substituents favored the ring closure (decrease k1), leading to trans-β-lactams (Scheme 7.5).
The relative stereoselectivity of the process was really composed of a competition between the ring closure (k1) and the isomerization of the imine (k2) in the intermediates. The actual ratio of k1/k2 was able to determine the cis:trans ratio of β-lactams. The electronic effect was a key part in the stereoselectivity of the reaction (Scheme 7.6).
Fernando et al.20 investigated the mechanism of cycloaddition reaction using density functional the­ory (DFT) extensively. All the precise calculations reported below were performed following DFT.21 The hybrid three-parameter model was denoted as B3LYP.22 The 6-31G* and 6-31+G* basis sets23 as

SCHEME 7.9 (A) AND 10 (B) Reaction route between ketenes and Schiff base toward β-lactams. Adapted with permis-
sion from Royal Society Advance 2022, 12, 104 –117.
implemented in the GAUSSIAN 0324 were used. Wiberg index25 Bi was measured using the natural bond orbital (NBO) method.
Cycloaddition Between Aromatic Imines and Aliphatic Ketenes: This subject was studied with diverse substrates. The results of this reaction were unique and new as precise mechanistic analysis of this process seemed unpredictable. The reaction between methoxy and acetoxy ketenes and N-aryl Schiff bases was investigated. These ketenes were generated in the reaction medium by reacting methoxyacetyl and acetoxyacetyl chloride with triethylamine. The ratios of the cis- and trans-β-lactams formed were 4:1 (Scheme 7.7).
To explain the conguration of these β-lactams’ formation, computer-assisted calculation was studied. The stereochemistry of the two products was conrmed by X-ray study (Scheme 7.8).
The potential energy surfaces of all intermediates and transition structures of Staudinger reaction between the above imines and ketenes were identied. The shape of the scans on the reaction coordinates with respect to physical parameters, internuclear distances, and dihedral angles is shown (Scheme 7.9 and Scheme 7.10).
A comprehensive analysis of the isomerization pathway of the E-Schiff base was investigated. The complete geometry of the transition state intermediate TSia, the total energies of the two feasible
