Abstract
Alkylamino-substituted 2-alkoxy-2-pentenoates, obtained through ring transformation of 4-(1-chloro-1-methylethyl)-or 4-(2-halo-1,1-dimethylethyl)azetidin-2-ones upon treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol, have been evaluated as substrates for the cyclization towards pyrrolidines and piperidines. Thus, a convenient approach for the transformation of methyl 2-alkoxy-5-amino-4,4-dimethyl-2-pentenoates into 5,5-dimethyl-3-oxopiperidin-2-ones is described utilizing an excess of concentrated sulfuric acid.
