Abstract

Based on sequential organic transformations, that is, diimine formation, Staudinger [2 + 2] ketene-imine cycloaddition, and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions, the synthesis with full structural identification including NMR and HRMS spectral data along with single X-ray diffraction analysis (for anti 7b, anti 8b, syn 9a, and anti 9b) of the first syn/anti bis-4-spiro-β-lactams-based azacrown ethers (7a,b-9a,b) is reported.
