A three-step tandem process for the synthesis of bicyclic γ-lactams

Abstract

A one-pot, three-step tandem process has been developed for the direct synthesis of functionalised bicyclic [3.3.0], [4.3.0] and [5.3.0] γ-lactams from simple allylic trichloroacetimidates. The process involves a palladium(II) mediated Overman rearrangement followed by the use of Grubbs first generation complex which catalyzes both a ring closing metathesis reaction and a Kharasch cyclization. As well as exploring the scope of this process for the synthesis of a range of functionalised bicyclic γ-lactams, the use of chiral palladium(II) catalysts during the Overman rearrangement for the enantioselective synthesis of the bicyclic γ-lactams is also demonstrated.
