Abstract

An oxidative relay Heck arylation reaction enables the construction of chiral α,β-unsaturated δ-lactams, widely used as pharmacophores, in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. This strategy also allows facile access to 7-substituted α,β-unsaturated ε-lactam products and δ-lactams.
