Abstract
Upon Ir catalysis, N-benzoyloxyamides serve as efficient acylnitrenoid precursors to afford γ-lactams. The generation of a putative Ir-carbonylnitrenoid via N-O bond cleavage is facilitated by the chelation of countercations. This convenient reaction offers a step-economic route to γ-lactams.
