A Tandem Amination/Lactamisation Route to 2-Azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanones

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An efficient one-pot amination/lactamisation sequence for the preparation of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanones from 6-carboalkoxycyclohex-2-enones and aqueous ammonia is described. Scope and limitation studies are reported for this tandem procedure and a range of bicyclic compounds have been prepared, two of which were characterised by X-ray crystallography.
