The facile synthesis of the stabilized axial and equatorial conformers of spiro-β-lactams was achieved via entrapment of cyclohexanone imines (Schiff bases) with acetoxyacetyl chloride in a [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction followed by their kinetic resolution. The immobilization of the racemic

A new and improved method for the synthesis of glycolylhydroxamic acids is described. The two-step method involves acylation of arylhydroxylamines with acetoxyacetyl chloride, followed by saponification of the ester bond to give the desired products. The conversion of hydroxamic acids
