Polycyclic lactams are prepared in a single operation from <i>o</i>-toluamides and cyclic amines in a process that involves transient cyclic imines, species that are conveniently obtained in situ from the corresponding lithium amides and simple ketone oxidants. Imines thus generated, such as 1-pyrroline and 1-piperideine, engage lithiated <i>o</i>-toluamides in a facile annulation process. Undesired side reactions such as imine deprotonation and <i>o</i>-toluamide dimerization are suppressed thr ...[more]
