Five- to eight-membered unsaturated lactams have been obtained through ring-closing metathesis of unsaturated amides of various chain lengths and substitution patterns. The obtention of nine-membered unsaturated lactams by the same procedure met only with limited success. Also described in this Letter is the obtention of the Z-ethylenic pseudopeptidic analog of l-Phe-l-Phe through hydrolytic ring opening of (3R,6S)-3,6-dibenzyl-3,6-dihydro-2-pyridone obtained by RCM.
通过不同链长和取代模式的不饱和酰胺的环合复分解反应,获得了五至八元不饱和内酰胺。通过相同方法获得九元不饱和内酰胺仅取得了有限的成功。本信函还描述了通过RCM获得的(3R,6S)-3,6-二苄基-3,6-二氢-2-
吡啶酮的
水解开环反应,获得了l-Phe-l-Phe的Z-
乙烯基类似物。
