2-Alkyl-substituted lactams 4 were synthesized in good overall yields and high enantiomeric purities (ee =71-99%) by α-alkylation of chiral N-(dialkylamino)lactams 2 and subsequent reductive N-N bond cleavage of the resulting lactams 3 with lithium in liquid ammonia. The lactams 2, in turn, were prepared in good yields by cyclization of Ï-chloroalkanohydrazides 1 with sodium hydride. Acidic hydrolysis of lactams 4 leads to γ-aminobutanoic acid (GABA) derivatives 5 (ee ≥ 99%). The absolute configuration was determined by polarimetry and an X-ray structure analysis of (S,S)-3e’.
