Photoredox-Induced Intramolecular 1,5-H Transfer Reaction of Aryl Iodides for the Synthesis of Spirocyclic γ-Lactams

摘要

This work develops a photocatalysis method for the synthesis of γ-spirolactams through a tandem intramolecular 1,5-HAT reaction–cyclization process. A variety of novel γ-spirolactams are prepared in good to excellent yields with this method. This transformation features mild reaction conditions and exceptional functional group tolerance. Additionally, γ-terpinene is applied to this transformation as a hydrogen atom donor for the first time.
