Abstract

Pd(II)-catalyzed intramolecular amination of sp2 and sp3 C-H bonds are developed using a combination of CuCl2 and AgOAc as the oxidant. The reaction protocol tolerates the presence of a double bond in the substrates. This catalytic reaction provides practical access to a wide range of beta-, gamma-, and delta-lactams.
