Abstract
A new one-step protocol for the synthesis of acetoxy lactams starting from imides has been developed. This method involves regiospecific reduction of the imide with LiEt3 BH, then capture of the transient lithium alkoxide by acetic anhydride.
Key words
N -acyliminium ion precursors - imide reduction - LiEt3 BH - one-pot process

18 Compounds 5d and 5e were prepared from (S )- and (R )-pyroglutamic acid using typical procedures for functional-group transformations similar to those employed for 5a -c .
19 The yield of 2b fell to 63% when 5 g of 1b was used (the corresponding hydroxy lactam was also isolated in 16% yield) and to 40% when the reaction was carried out on a 7.5 g scale.
2h was obtained in high yield by using a conventional acetylation procedure:
