35. Configuration at the carbinolic chiral center of product (+)-2h was known from our earlier report (see reference [8b]). Configuration at the carbinolic chiral center of allenol (+)-2j was assumed to be the same that for compound (+)-2 i; a) B. M. Trost, J. L. Belletire, S. Godleski, P. G. McDougal, J. M. Balkovec, J.

Spiro-β-lactams behave as β-turn mimetics, as well as enzyme inhibitors; they are precursors of α,α-disubstituted β-amino acids, and the spiranic β-lactam moiety is present in chartellines, a family of marine natural products.
