We report a one‐pot methodology for the synthesis of N ‐alkylated 2‐substituted azetidin‐3‐ones based on a tandem nucleophilic substitution followed by intramolecular Michael reaction of primary amines with alkyl 5‐bromo‐4‐oxopent‐2‐enoates, obtained in turn in three steps from levulinic acid. A mechanistic interpretation of these reactions and an attempted enantioselective approach are also described. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
