The development of a BINAPHANE-catalyzed formal [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of disubstituted ketenes and inexpensive N-tosyl arylimines that provides access to a variety of highly substituted β-lactams (16 examples) is described. The BINAPHANE catalytic system displays moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee) and high diastereoselectivity in most cases, favoring formation of the trans-diastereomer (13 examples with dr ≥ 90:10).
