Abstract

Cyclisation of various unsaturated haloamides with tributyltin hydride/AIBN has been explored. Substituted pyrrolidinones were isolated in good to excellent yield and the cyclisation of a serine-derived amide was utilised as the key step in an enantioselective synthesis of phenyl allokainoid.
