Abstract

Abstract Image

The palladium complexes catalyzed intramolecular hydroamidation reaction of amidoalkynes gives the corresponding lactams in good to high yields. For example, in the presence of 10 mol % of Pd(PPh3)4 and 20 mol % of PhCOOH, the reaction of the amidoalkyne 3a in 1,4-dioxane at 100 °C proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding lactam 4a in 92% yield.
