Abstract
AbstractAn approach to cyclic nitrones from N‐hydroxylactam derivatives is documented. The nucleophilic addition of an organolithium reagent to an N‐OSEM [SEM=2‐(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl] lactam forms a five‐membered chelated intermediate, which undergoes both elimination and deprotection to give a fully substituted nitrone in a one‐pot process. When combined with the N‐oxidation of easily available chiral lactams, this method becomes especially useful for the quick synthesis of chiral nitrones in enantio‐pure form, enabling the concise total synthesis of cylindricine C.
