22. N-p-Methoxyphenylbenzaldimine was used, as it allows easy oxidative removal of the p-methoxyphenyl group, with ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate, to give the N-unsubstituted β-lactam, as shown in: Kronenthal, D. R.; Han, C. Y.; Taylor M. K. J. Org. Chem. 1982, 47, 2765.

25. 3 (c 0.7), are +134.0 and -134.0, respectively.
26. The relative stereochemistry of 15a (and therefore 15b) was studied by NMR (NOESY spectra), and was confirmed to be cis, thus excluding a possible epimerization of the carbon atom C3 (see Suporting Information).
27. The racemic 4-formyl β-lactam, rac-15-cis was prepared according to a procedure previously described: (a) Alcaide, B.; Martín-Cantalejo, Y.; Plumet, J.; Rodríguez-López, J.; Sierra, M. A. Tetrahedron Lett. 1991, 32, 803.
