Fast Oxidation of Lactams to Cyclic Imides Using Microwave Irradiation

摘要

Since polar reactants can adsorb microwave irradiation,chemists can utilize the microwave oven for some organic reactions.In this paper,we report a rapid conversion of lactams to cyclic imides using peracetic acid (CH_3-CO_3H) and manganic chloride (MnCl2) in ethyl acetate (CH_3-COOEt) as a solvent and under microwave irradiation (90 W,5 min) in good yields.
