The stereospecific synthesis of several 4-[(4-carboxyphenyl)oxy]- 3,3-dialkyl-1-[[(1-phenylalkyl)-amino]carbonyl]azetidin-2-on es 3 is described in which the C-3 alkyl groups were varied from methyl to butyl as well as allyl, benzyl and methoxymethyl. The structure-activity relations for these compounds are discussed in terms
