Abstract

A sequence of reactions including [3.31-sigmatropic rearrangement of allyl trichloroacetimidates (Overman rearrangement) followed by ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of N-allyltrichloroacetamides provided a novel method for preparing trichlorinated 7-lactams from allylic alcohols. No &lactam waa formed aa a byproduct. The cyclization of secondary N- allyltrichloroacetamides proceeded with good diaatereoselectivity. Two types of tandem ...
