Cycloaddition of dicarboethoxy-substituted imines with phenylthioacetyl chloride under microwave irradiation is investigated toward the preparation of C-4 dicarboethoxy-substituted b-lactams. One of the ester groups of the products is removed through a decarboethoxylation process by lithium chloride in DMSO. This procedure results in the formation of functionalized <i>cis </i>and trans b-lactams.<br/>
