N-Mesyloxylactams undergo an efficient ring-contraction to N-heterocycles of various ring sizes. Yields increase with the degree of substitution α to the carbonyl. The stereochemical information of a chiral migrating carbon is conserved making this reaction a synthetically useful complement to the well-known Hofmann, Curtius, Lossen, and Schmidt rearrangements.

Electrochemical oxidation of α‐allylated and α‐benzylated N‐acylated cyclic amines by using a graphite anode easily affords the corresponding α‐methoxylated products with up to 76 % yield. Ease of oxidation was affected by the type of electrode, the size of cyclic amine, and the nature of the protecting group. This method was successfully applied to the synthesis of optically active N‐acylated α‐alkyl‐α‐amino
