I. Funaki et al., SYNTHESIS OF 3-AMINOPYRROLIDIN-2-ONES BY AN INTRAMOLECULAR REACTION OF AZIRIDINECARBOXAMIDES, Tetrahedron, 52(29), 1996, pp. 9909-9924
The synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted-3-amino-gamma-lactams from N-substi
tuted aziridinecarboxamides is described. Bicyclic aziridine derivativ
es were obtained from 1-N-Boc-aziridinecarboxamides under kinetically
controlled conditions. Oxiranecarboxamides showed similiar behavior an
d gave 3-hydroxy-lactams. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
