	abstract = {<p>A convenient route to enantiopure azetidine-2,3-diones is described. The chiral ketene generated from commercially available L-(+)-diethyl tartrate on Staudinger cycloaddition with different imines gave spiro-beta-lactams in good yields. These spiro-beta-lactams were transformed into azetidine-2,3-diones in excellent yields in a two-step process.</p>},
