Chapter 24, Problem 24.29P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagents that are involved in creating the given β-lactams using a common vinyl triflate has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Suzuki Coupling:

A Palladium-catalyzed reaction of an organoboron compound with an organic triflate is known as Suzuki coupling reaction.  The mechanism follows by transmetallation, in which substituent on borane replaces ligand on palladium and reductive elimination occurs to form a new $\text{C-C}$ bond.
