Construction of highly functional α-amino nitriles via a novel multicomponent tandem organocatalytic reaction: a facile access to α-methylene γ-lactams
The first tertiary amine-catalyzed multicomponent tandem Strecker–allylic-alkylation (SAA) reaction has been developed, which provides a facileaccess to functionalized α-amino nitriles, which could be readily converted into α-methylene-γ-butyrolactams.
