Their unique chemical structure, combining spiro ring system with β-lactam group, offers promising opportunities for targeted medication discovery in medicinal chemistry. Spirocyclic β-lactams have the potential to be adaptable frameworks for developing novel therapeutic medicines with particular three-dimensional pharmacophoric characteristics and increased biological efficacy. Numerous methods are employed in the synthesis of spirocyclic β-lactams, such as cyclization, functional group modifications, asymmetric synthesis utilizing chiral catalysts and biomimetic approaches. In this Short Review, two distinct approaches to recent synthesis of spirocyclic β-lactams are discussed: one is based on constructing the β-lactam ring, while the other entails transforming monocyclic β-lactams into spirocyclic structures (from 2021 to till date). These methods include detailed reaction processes and biological function descriptions of target spirocycles. The applications of spirocyclic β-lactams in medicinal chemistry highlight their role in synthesis of structurally diverse compounds with significant therapeutic potential, demonstrating creative chemical methods of building complex molecular structures. \u00001 Introduction \u00002 β-Lactam Ring Synthesis \u00003 Non-β-Lactam Ring Synthesis \u00004 Miscellaneous Examples \u00005 Conclusion and Outlook \u00006 References","PeriodicalId":510101,"journal":{"name":"Synthesis","volume":" 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
