Abstract
An organocatalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization reaction for converting 3-substituted cyclobutanones into 4-substituted 5-hydroxy-γ-lactams is presented. This involves a ring-expanding O-nitroso aldol-cyclization domino sequence. This synthetic protocol provides access to five-membered ring systems in good yields with the generation of two new stereogenic centers.
