LiNTf2 in the reaction of lactones with amines is able to activate cyclic esters towards ring opening, thus leading to clean open-chain amides under mild conditions and using a stoichiometric amount of amine. The generality of the method was demonstrated by a range of selected lactones and amines.

An investigation of the [3,3]-sigmatropic reaction of substituted 3-aza-1,2,5-hexatrienes to give 4-pentenenitriles is presented. This reaction has been found to occur under a wide variety of reactions conditions (10 are reported) starting from readily available N-allylamides. In contrast to other 3-aza-Cope reactions, this process occurs at room temperature, under essentially neutral conditions, allowing for the facile preparation of substituted nitrile products in moderate to excellent yields. The scope and versatility of this reaction are demonstrated by its use on a wide variety of substrates, including nitrogen- and oxygen-substituted amides. The rearrangements of cis- and trans-4-tert-butyl-N-allylcyclohexanecarboxamides 16a and 16b are reported and were found to give a ratio of axial to equatorial (A:E) products consistent with A:E ratios found for other related sigmatropic reactions. The stereochemical requirements for this reaction appear to be similar to other [3,3]-rearrangements even though the transition state for this rearrangement is most likely neither boat nor chairlike.

An extremely mild 3-aza-Claisen reaction has been developed. Readily available N-allyl amides are converted to pentenylnitriles in moderate to good yields by a transformation that occurs at room temperature under essentially neutral conditions.
