Enantioselective Nucleophilic Catalysis: The Synthesis of Aza-β-Lactams through [2+2] Cycloadditions of Ketenes with Azo Compounds

Get ready for take off: A planar‐chiral derivative of 4‐pyrrolidinopyridine (1) mediates the title transformation (see scheme) in a convergent manner with good enantioselectivity, thus giving the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of aza‐β‐lactams.
