provides, according to the substitution pattern of the starting amides, either norcaradienes or cycloheptadienones by overall insertion of the N-benzyl group into the benzamide's aromatic ring system. Chiral benzamides undergo the ringexpansion with high (sometimes complete) stereospecificity. The reaction appears to occur via a series of pericyclic reactions (photochemical or thermal sigmatropic rearrangements

N-benzylbenzamides. The cascade of reactions leading to the products entails enantioselective benzylic deprotonation with a chiral lithium amide, dearomatizing cyclization of the resulting configurationally defined organolithium to give an extended amide enolate, and photochemically induced formal [1,7]-sigmatropic rearrangement and 6π-electrocyclic ring-opening – the latter all evidently being stereospecific

Lithiation of tertiary aromatic N-benzyl amides generates [alpha]-amido benzyllithiums which cyclise with dearomatisation to cyclic extended enolates. Rearomatisation by oxidation, or, in the case of methoxy-substituted enolates, elimination, yields 2,3-dihydroisoindoles. Enantiomerically enriched products may be formed either by using a chiral base to lithiate the starting material or by using a chiral starting material. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
