The biological importance of highly substituted lactams has inspired chemist to develop new and elegant ways to synthesize these compounds. We present an efficient and diastereoselective method for the synthesis of sulfur containing ?-lactams. This methodology can be showcased in the synthesis of various complex natural products such as martinellic acid.
