Abstract

3-Allyl substituted five, six, and seven membered ring lactams are readily available in good yields and reasonable selectivity by a formal Meerwein Eschenmoser Claisen [3,3] rearrangement, using the readily available N,N-dialkylalkoxymethylene iminium salts and lithium alkoxides derived from allyl alcohols.
