The development of one-pot tandem reactions for the synthesis of polycyclic y-lactams

A novel tandem process has been developed for the stereoselective synthesis of bicyclic γ-lactams. Treatment of an allylic alcohol with trichloroacetonitrile, in the presence of DBU, affords the corresponding allylic trichloroacetimidate. This is then subjected to a tandem Overman rearrangement/RCM/...
