We report a method for the selective α,β-dehydrogenation of amides in the presence of other carbonyl moieties under mild conditions. Our strategy relies on electrophilic activation coupled to in situ selective selenium-mediated dehydrogenation. The α,β-unsaturated products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, and their synthetic versatility was demonstrated by a range of transformations. Mechanistic experiments suggest formation of an electrophilic SeIV species.
A simple, one-flask transformation of ketones to N-methyl lactams

A one-flask conversion of cyclic ketones to N-methyl lactams is described. Reaction of the ketone with triethylorthoformate generates an acetal which is reacted in situ with N-(((p-nitrobenzene)sulfonyl)oxy methylamine 2a(CH3NH-OSO2C6H4NO2). Dealkylation of the resulting O-ethyl imidate with sodium iodide gives the lactam. A variety of lactams, including macrocyclic lactams, are produced simply and in good yields.
