These monocyclic ¦Â-lactams were then cleaved by ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) to give NH-monocyclic ¦Â-lactams, which in turn were converted to N-sulfonyl monocyclic ¦Â-lactams by treatment with four different sulfonyl chlorides in the presence of Et3N and 4,4-dimethyl- aminopyridine (DMAP). %K 2-Azetidinones %K N-Sulfonyl ¦Â-lactams %K Ketene %K Imine %K CAN %K DMAP %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/11/1/49
