A new, single-mode bench-top resonator was evaluated for the microwave-assisted flow generation of primary ketenes by thermal decomposition of α-diazoketones at high temperature. A number of amides and β-lactams were obtained by ketene generation in situ and reaction with amines and imines, respectively, in good to excellent yields. The preferential formation of trans-configured β-lactams was observed during the [2+2] Staudinger cycloaddition of a range of ketenes with different imines under controlled reaction conditions.

Abstract
A new, single-mode bench-top resonator was evaluated for the microwave-assisted flow generation of primary ketenes by thermal decomposition of α-diazoketones at high temperature. A number of amides and β-lactams were obtained by ketene generation in situ and reaction with amines and imines, respectively, in good to excellent yields. The preferential formation of trans-configured β-lactams was observed during the [2+2] Staudinger cycloaddition of a range of ketenes with different imines under controlled reaction conditions. Some insights into the mechanism of this reaction at high temperature are reported, and a new web-based molecular viewer, which takes advantage from Augmented Reality (AR) technology, is also described for a faster interpretation of computed data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
