Abstract
Herein we report the three-component copper-catalyzed carboiminolactonization of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives. In the presence of a Cu(I) catalyst, α-haloesters, electron-deficient alkenes, and primary amines couple to generate γ-iminolactones in a single step. The scope of the reaction is explored with respect to the three coupling partners. Nineteen examples are presented with yields of these hydrolytically labile heterocycles of up to 69%. Mechanistic investigations support the formation of an oxocarbenium by way of an atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) intermediate.

Abstract
AbstractA two-step procedure for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde-1,1-diester from a γ,δ-epoxyester and its synthetic versatility are described herein. The epoxide ring-opening/cyclopropanation process occurs in the presence of Mg(ClO4)2 under heating, resulting in cyclopropanemethanol-1,1-diester in 65% yield. A mild TEMPO-mediated oxidation of this substrate readily generated the corresponding aldehyde in 75% yield, which was applied in the one-pot synthesis of four cyclopropylidene-γ-lactams and three δ-lactams. In addition, vinylcyclopropanes were obtained through the Wittig reaction of the aldehyde with phosphonium salts and used as precursors for tetrahydrofurans.
