Abstract
<p class="first" id="P1">The preparation of unsaturated secondary lactams via the
palladium-catalyzed cyclization
of
<i>O</i>-phenyl hydroxamates onto a pendent alkene is reported. This method provides
rapid
access to a broad range of lactams that are widely useful building blocks in alkaloid
synthesis. Mechanistic studies support an aza-Heck-type pathway.
