“…The importance of heterocyclic compounds has been known to humans for a long time, so the synthesis of this family of compounds has been on the agenda of many chemists and pharmacists. Various articles about the preparation and application of heterocyclic compounds are published in the literature every day. − These compounds are widely used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food industries, pesticides, and herbicides. − One interesting heterocycle is the four-membered heterocycle of β-lactams, where the ring plays a key and effective role in the action of drugs. − β-Lactams, also called azitidine 2-ones, are quaternary cyclic amides that contain a nitrogen atom attached to a carbonyl group. Antimicrobial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antiseizure, antibiotic, anticancer, and antiviral properties have been reported for this family. , In addition, the β-lactam ring acts as a synthon for the synthesis of amino acid derivatives, peptides, polyamino alcohols, and esters .…”
