Amide nitrogen pyramidalization changes lactam amide spinning

Cis-trans lactam amide rotation is a fundamental process and its understanding might aid molecular design. Here, the authors report the synthesis and study of bicyclic lactams which undergo spin through 360 degrees as in open-chain amides, due to the occurrence of nitrogen pyramidalization.
