• bioactive molecules. They are also known to present valuable biological activities, such as anti-HBV (1) [44], anti-HIV (2) [45], antitumor (3) [46] and even antiplasmodial activities (4) [47] (Scheme 2A). Although these studied bioactive compounds do not directly represent the structural moieties obtained

• selectively through choice of the appropriate imine for the Staudinger synthesis of the starting β-lactams. Given the recently disclosed antiplasmodial activities of a number of 2,3-diamino-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propanes [8], the second objective of this work was the preparation of new analogues bearing a
