Abstract

A facile and efficient strategy for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated lactams through ring-closing metathesis of easily prepared diene amides is being reported here. Reaction conditions were optimized for metathetic cyclization of diene amides to obtain five- to seven-membered unsubstituted and β-substituted α,β-unsaturated lactams in good to excellent yield.
