Glycosylation significantly alters the biological and physicochemical properties of small molecules. β-Lactam alcohols comprise eligible substrates for such a transformation based on their distinct relevance in chemical medicinal community. In this framework, unprecedented enzymatic glycosylation rigid highly strained four-membered β-lactam azaheterocycle was studied. For purpose, cis-3-hydroxy-β-lactams were efficiently prepared three steps by means classical organic synthesis approach,...
