Abstract

A general method was devised for the LiN (TMS) 2/AgOTf (= 2: 1)-catalyzed intramolecular (5-exo-dig) cyclization of β-alkynylamides 1 possessing alkyl, aryl or no functional groups at the terminal alkynes, to 5-alkylidene-2-pyrrolidinones 2. These 5-alkylidene-2- pyrrolidinones were oxidized to the diol-type alkoxylactams 3 by dimethyldioxirane (DMD) or mCPBA in MeOH. These alkoxylactams are useful as tertiary N-acyliminium ion ...
