Abstract

A general and highly efficient synthesis of 4-alkylidene-2-azetidinones was achieved by the Cu(I)-catalyzed intramolecular C−N coupling of amides with vinyl bromides. This 4-exo ring closure was found to be fundamentally preferred over other modes (5-exo, 6-exo, and 6-endo) of cyclization under copper catalysis. Tandem C−N bond formation was then successfully developed to allow the convenient generation of medium-sized lactams.

Jing Li, Wangqing Kong, Yihua Yu, Chunling Fu and Shengming MaThe Journal of Organic Chemistry2009 74 (22), 8733-8738Previously, we observed that the electrophilic reaction of 2,3-allenols with X+ (X = Br, I) affords 3-halo-2-alkenals or 2-halo-2-alkenyl ketones in aqueous MeCN (MeCN/H2O = 15:1). However, the reaction of tertiary 2,3-allenols with NBS under these ...
