A one-pot cascade approach to 4-alkylidene-beta-lactams and N, N'-diarylamidines from aryl azides and aryloxyacetyl chlorides has been developed. The chemical outcome of the reaction can be controlled selectively by an appropriate choice of the stoichiometric ratio of different substrates and reagents. The products should find use in pharmaceutical discovery, especially in the development of new antimicrobial agents against multidrug-resistant pathogens.
