Abstract
Preparation of optically active 3-substituted azetidinones of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is a hydroxy-protective group wherein an allylic alcohol of the formula (II) ##STR2## is acylated, then subjected to asymmetric enzymatic hydrolysis yielding the R-allylic alcohol. The hydroxyl group is protected and then stereoselectively reacted with an amine which is subsequently cyclized to yield the desired 3-substituted azetidinone. Two new species of microorganisms have been isolated, Pimelobacter sp. No. 1254 and Bacillus megaterium No. 1253 which exhibit stereoselective esterase activity.
