Abstract
Unprecedented classes of four- and five-membered hydroxyl-spiro-beta-lactams and hydroxyl-azido-beta-lactams were prepared via regioselective ring opening of hydroxyl-epoxides. The potential of these particular beta-lactams as biologically active compounds has been confirmed by the results obtained in ACAT inhibition assays.
