Abstract:Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated-γ-lactams continue to attract attention due to the importance of this structural motif in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the development of a visiblelight-induced excited-state copper-catalyzed [4 + 1] annulation reaction for the preparation of a wide range of γ-H, −OH, and −OR-substituted α,β-unsaturated-γ-lactams using acrylamides as the 4-atom unit and aroyl chlorides as the 1-atom unit. This modular synthetic protocol features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate sco… Show more
“…Based on the results of existing research in photoredox catalysis, 8,21 copper photocatalytic reaction, 22 as well as our results, we propose a plausible mechanism. Transmetallation of the aryl group from aryl boronic acid to the catalyst ( A ) generates aryl intermediate B , which then undergoes oxidative addition with ABX under light irradiation to produce copper ( iii ) intermediate C .…”

“…Based on the results of existing research in photoredox catalysis, 8,21 copper photocatalytic reaction, 22 In summary, a copper-catalyzed alkynyl Csp-Csp 2 coupling reaction of 1-alkynyl-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one with aryl or alkynyl boronic acid was developed under visible light irradiation. The reaction proceeded under extremely mild conditions with a broad substrate scope that tolerated various functional groups.…”
We reported herein that a copper catalyst catalyzed efficient cross coupling of aryl and alkenyl boronic acids with alkynyl-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-ones to afford diaryl alkynes and enynes under mild visible light irradiation...

“…A derivative of citronellal (i.e., 1l ) could also be converted into the corresponding γ-lactam 2l in 60% yield, with the other alkene moiety remaining intact. Compared with previously reported synthetic methods for producing α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams, SCAD annulation provides a highly straightforward strategy using readily available acrylamides and NHCs, thereby allowing for the facile access to elaborate γ-lactams, as demonstrated in Scheme …”
“…6 A variety of synthetic routes have been developed for N-aryl/alkylated α,β-unsaturated γ-lactam synthesis. 5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Despite this wide range of applications of α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams, currently there are not many methods available for the synthesis of N-acylated α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams with broad side-chain specificity.…”

Here we are reporting a remarkable transformation of the pentafluorophenyl esters of N -protected ( E )-α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids into N -protected ( Z )-α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams at room temperature in the presence of a weak base.…”
