Abstract

The oxidative radical cyclization of active methylene derivatives containing allyl groups as radical acceptors proceeded with the use of FeCl3 as a mild oxidant. The FeCl3-promoted cyclization reactions of α-substituted active methylene compounds provide a synthetic approach to various γ-lactams containing a quaternary carbon atom.
