J. Cossy et al., PHOTOREDUCTIVE CYCLIZATION OF N,N-DIALKYL-BETA-OXOAMIDES - SYNTHESIS OF PIPERIDINES AND DELTA-LACTAMS, Tetrahedron, 49(35), 1993, pp. 7691-7700
The photoreductive cyclization of N,N-unsaturated dialkyl-beta-oxoamid
es produced delta-lactams in good yields. On the contrary the photored
uctive cyclization of N,N-unsaturated dialkyl-beta-aminoketones produc
ed substituted piperidines in poor yields.
