Synthesis of Nitrogen-Containing Heterocycles via Ring-Closing Ene-Ene and Ene-Yne Metathesis Reactions: An Easy Access to 1- and 2-Benzazepine Scaffolds and Five- and Six-Membered Lactams
derivative. By modifying the structure of the starting materials, the optimized cyclization finally proved to be a suitable technique to obtain five- and six-membered lactams, enhancing the synthetic application of our method. Five- and six-membered lactams were efficiently prepared by ring-closing metathesis involving the loss of ethylene moiety and affording highly functionalizable compounds showing both
