T. Luker et al., SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF PYRROLIDINONE-DERIVED AND PIPERIDINONE-DERIVED ENOL TRIFLATES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(45), 1996, pp. 8257-8260
A high yielding route to cyclic lactam-derived enol triflates is given
along with a study of the structural features necessary for such trif
lates to be of useful thermal stability. Some Pd(O)-mediated coupling
reactions are disclosed as well as the first functionalisation reactio
ns of the double bond of the resulting enamide products. Copyright (C)
