Controllable Regioselective Construction of Both Functional α-Methylene-β- and -γ-amino Acid Derivatives Through an Organocatalyzed Tandem Allylic Alkylation and Amination
A new controllable and regioselectiveallylicalkylation and amination reaction has been developed for the highly selective construction of compounds containing α-alkylidene-β-amino acid and α-methylene-γ-butyrolactam moieties. Furthermore, on the basis of this controllable strategy, multicomponent tandem reactions have also been accomplished. The subsequent transformations of the densely functionalized
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.
