4-Acetoxy-2-azetidinone serves as a model in the synthesis of β-amino acids. A process of allylation at its α position produces an enolate, which can then react with a nitrogen nucleophile to produce an α,β unsaturated carbonyl group. The versatile carbonyl unit can be either hydrolyzed to yield a hydroxyl group or chlorinated to produce a chloride. It has been used in asymmetric synthesis as a chiral auxiliary. Additionally, it plays a part in the synthesis of derivatized cyclopentenes, exhibiting high regio- and diastereoselectivity. It has also been used as a heterocyclic synthon for antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agents.
