Abstract
Substituted acrylamide derivatives of benzylamine are lithiated alpha to nitrogen by LDA. The benzyllithium thus formed undergoes either 5-endo-trig anionic cyclisation, formally by intramolecular conjugate addition to the acrylamide, to yield 5-membered lactams, or, if the acrylamide bears a beta-electron withdrawing group, 4-exo-trig cyclisation to a beta-lactam.Entities:
