Anosike IS, Beng TK. Harnessing the 1,3-azadiene-anhydride reaction for the regioselective and stereocontrolled synthesis of lactam-fused bromotetrahydropyrans by bromoetherification of lactam-tethered trisubstituted tertiary alkenols. RSC Adv 2024; 14:18501-18507.

Abstract
Halo-cycloetherification of lactam-tethered alkenols enables the construction of oxygen-heterocycles that are fused to nitrogen heterocycles via intramolecular halonium-induced nucleophilic addition. Specifically, tetrahydropyrans (THPs) that are fused to a nitrogen heterocycle constitute the core of several bioactive molecules, including tachykinin receptor antagonists and alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists. Although the literature is replete with successful examples of the halo-cycloetherification of simple mono- or disubstituted primary alkenols, methods for the modular, efficient, regioselective, and stereocontrolled intramolecular haloetherification of sterically encumbered trisubstituted tertiary alkenols are rare. Here, we describe a simple intramolecular bromoetherification strategy that meets these benchmarks and proceeds with exclusive 6-endo regioselectivity. The transformation employs mild and water-tolerant conditions, which bodes well for late-stage diversification. The hindered ethers contain four contiguous stereocenters as well as one halogen-bearing tetrasubstituted stereocenter.

Abstract
Desymmetrization of gem-dimethyl groups has been developed as an efficient pathway to achieve asymmetric C(sp3)-H functionalization. Herein, we described a Pd(II)-catalyzed desymmetrizing gem-dimethyl C(sp3)-H alkenylation/aza-Wacker cyclization directed by a bidentate 2-pyridinylisopropyl auxiliary. Chiral α-methyl γ-lactams were obtained in good yields (up to 82%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 91.5% ee).

Abstract
This manuscript describes the synthesis of γ-lactam from the nitrogen insertion reaction of cyclobutanones using an oxime as an aminating reagent with a catalytic amount of Brønsted acid. This method was employed with a more stable oxime reagent, which is a precursor analog of hydroxylamine derivatives with explosive properties. The reaction was tolerated by various substituted cyclobutanones and less strained five- or six-membered ketones. The obtained γ-lactam products could be transformed into γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives via ring-opening hydrolysis. The reaction mechanism is discussed from the perspective of the isotope effect, etc.

Abstract
Although simple γ-lactones and γ-lactams have received considerable attention from the synthetic community, particularly due to their relevance in biological and medicinal contexts, stereoselective synthetic approaches to more densely substituted derivatives remain scarce. The in-depth study presented herein, showcasing a straightforward method for the stereocontrolled synthesis of γ-lactones and γ-lactams, builds on and considerably expands the stereodivergent synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds by a ynamide/vinyl sulfoxide coupling. A full mechanistic and computational study of the rearrangement was conducted, uncovering the role of all of the reaction components and providing a rationale for stereoselection. The broad applicability of the developed tools to streamlining synthesis is demonstrated by concise enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-nephrosteranic acid, (+)-rocellaric acid, and (+)-nephromopsinic acid.

Abstract
Enzyme inhibitors working by O-acylation of nucleophilic serine residues are of immense medicinal importance, as exemplified by the β-lactam antibiotics. By contrast, inhibition of nucleophilic cysteine enzymes by S-acylation has not been widely exploited for medicinal applications. The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is a nucleophilic cysteine protease and a validated therapeutic target for COVID-19 treatment using small-molecule inhibitors. The clinically used Mpro inhibitors nirmatrelvir and simnotrelvir work via reversible covalent reaction of their electrophilic nitrile with the Mpro nucleophilic cysteine (Cys145). We report combined structure activity relationship and mass spectrometric studies revealing that appropriately functionalized γ-lactams can potently inhibit Mpro by reversible covalent reaction with Cys145 of Mpro. The results suggest that γ-lactams have potential as electrophilic warheads for development of covalently reacting small-molecule inhibitors of Mpro and, by implication, other nucleophilic cysteine enzymes.

Abstract
A Pd(II)-catalyzed tandem reaction of aliphatic amides with vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) was accomplished by merging C(sp3)-H and C-C activation. The reaction of VCP revealed alkenylation/cyclization, followed by ring opening via C-C cleavage, delivering vinyl γ-lactams with (E)-selectivity. The role of ligands, site-selectivity, functional group diversity, mechanistic insight, and synthetic utilities are important practical features.

Abstract
We report herein an enantioselective palladium-catalyzed Heck-Matsuda reaction for the desymmetrization of N-protected 2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles with aryldiazonium salts, using the chiral N,N-ligand (S)-PyraBox. This strategy has allowed straightforward access to a diversity of 4-aryl-γ-lactams via Heck arylation followed by a sequential Jones oxidation. The overall method displays a broad scope and good enantioselectivity, favoring the (R) enantiomer. The applicability of the protocol is highlighted by the efficient enantioselective syntheses of the selective phosphodiesterase-4-inhibitor rolipram and the commercial drug baclofen as hydrochloride.

Abstract
An expeditious synthesis of γ- and δ-lactams from tethered alkenyl trichloroacetamides in the presence of 5% of RuCl2(PPh3)3 is reported. In this investigation we have demonstrated that microwave activation significantly enhances reaction rates, leading to the formation of the corresponding lactams in yields ranging from good to excellent. Thus, we have been able to prepare a wide range of lactams, including indole and morphan bicyclic scaffolds, where the corresponding reactions were completely diastereoselective. This process was successfully extended to α,α-dichloroamides without affecting either their yield or their diastereoselectivity. Some of the lactams prepared in this work were evaluated for their hemolytic and cytotoxic responses. All compounds were found to be non-hemolytic at the tested concentration, indicating their safety profile in terms of blood cell integrity. Meanwhile, they exhibited interesting cytotoxicity responses that depend on both their lactam structure and cell line. Among the molecules tested, γ-lactam 2a exhibited the lowest IC50 values (100-250 µg/mL) as a function of its cell line, with promising selectivity against squamous carcinoma cells (A431) in comparison with fibroblasts (3T3 cell line).

Abstract
The research about α-methylene-γ-lactams is scarce; however, their synthesis has emerged in recent years mainly because they are isosters of α-methylene-γ-lactones. This last kind of compound is structurally most common in some natural products' nuclei, like sesquiterpene lactones that show biological activity such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, etc., effects. In this work, seven α-methylene-γ-lactams were evaluated by their inflammation and α-glucosidase inhibition. Thus, compounds 3-methylene-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one (1), 3-methylene-4-(p-tolyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (2), 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylenepyrrolidin-2-one (3), 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-methylenepyrrolidin-2-one (4), 5-ethyl-3-methylene-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one (5), 5-ethyl-3-methylene-4-(p-tolyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (6) and 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-ethyl-3-methylenepyrrolidin-2-one (7) were evaluated via in vitro α-glucosidase assay at 1 mM concentration. From this analysis, 7 exerts the best inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase compared with the vehicle, but it shows a low potency compared with the reference drug at the same dose. On the other side, inflammation edema was induced using TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate) on mouse ears; compounds 1-7 were tested at 10 µg/ear dose. As a result, 1, 3, and 5 show a better inhibition than indomethacin, at the same doses. This is a preliminary report about the biological activity of these new α-methylene-γ-lactams.

Abstract
A photoredox/copper-catalyzed cascade radical cyclization/phosphorothiolation reaction of N-allylbromoacetamides and P(O)SH compounds has been established. A broad range of novel nonfluorine- or difluoro-substituted 2-pyrrolidinones bearing the C(sp3)-SP(O)(OR)2 moiety can be conveniently constructed in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. Importantly, most of the tested phosphorothiolated 2-pyrrolidinones showed potent inhibitory effects toward both AChE and BChE.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven chemical transformation has emerged as a powerful tool for the synthesis of γ-lactams. However, during this transformation, the α-bromoimides need to be pre-prepared. Herein, we report a photoreodox/copper-catalyzed one-pot three-component reaction of alkenes with primary amines for the construction of γ-lactams. In this transformation, the orthoquinones were generated via a photocatalytic pathway, followed by attack by Cu-amido complexes and intramolecular cyclization to give the γ-lactams. This method represents a simple synthetic route displaying broad functional group tolerance, including substrates bearing alcohols, ketones, heterocycles, esters, halides, alkynes, nitriles, ethers, etc.

Abstract
We report an FeCl2-catalyzed annulation reaction between α-azido acetamides and cyclic ketones. Two types of α,β-unsaturated γ-lactam products can be obtained, depending on the reaction conditions. When α-azido acetamides were reacted with cyclohexanone, 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-indol-2(4H)-ones were obtained when a primary amine was present in the reaction system; conducting the reaction in the presence of 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, on the contrary, resulted in the formation of 5,6-dihydro-1H-indol-2(4H)-ones. Cycloheptanone and cyclooctanone reacted in the same way as cyclohexanone. The reactions proceed via the intermediacy of 2-iminoacetamides, which are formed by FeCl2-facilitated dinitrogenation of α-azido acetamides. These reactions constitute a new strategy for expanding the synthetic dimensions of organic azides.

Abstract
A novel method for the nickel-catalyzed multicomponent aminofluoroalkylation/cyclization of styrenes with ethyl fluoroacetate and anilines has been developed. This protocol provides general and efficient access to a diverse range of fluoro-γ-lactams from simple and readily available starting materials. Control experiments prove the involvement of radical intermediates and excluded the presence of 2-fluoro-N-phenylacetamide.

Abstract
We herein report a two-step approach for the enantioselective synthesis of novel chiral δ-lactams. By using a cooperative chiral ITU/achiral Pd-catalyst system, this protocol proceeds via an asymmetric α-allylation of activated aryl esters first, followed by an acid-mediated lactam formation. A variety of differently substituted products could be obtained with usually high levels of enantioselectivities and in reasonable yields (16 examples, up to 98 : 2 er and 73 % yield over two steps). In addition, further utilizations of the products via transformations of the exocyclic double bond were successfully carried out as well.

Abstract
The remarkable biological activities of γ-lactams have stimulated the search for efficient synthetic methods to achieve these scaffolds. In this work, we have developed a simple one-pot diastereoselective synthesis of new γ-lactams from ketoaziridines with moderate to good yields via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, followed by an intramolecular ester-aziridine cyclization and its opening in situ. Preliminary efforts towards an enantioselective version of this method are also reported.

Abstract
Direct utilization of CO2 into organic synthesis finds enormous applications to synthesize pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, pure CO2 gas is essential to achieve these transformations, and the purification of CO2 is highly cost and energy intensive. Considering this, we describe a straightforward synthetic route for the synthesis of γ-lactams, a pivotal core structure of bioactive molecules, by using commercially available starting materials (alkenes and amines) and impure CO2 stream (exhaust gas is collected from the car) as the carbon source. This blueprint features a broad scope, excellent functional group compatibility and application to the late-stage transformation of existing pharmaceuticals and natural products to synthesize functionalized γ-lactams. We believe that our strategy will provide direct access to γ-lactams in a very sustainable way and will also enhance the Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) strategy.

Abstract
An efficient and convenient method for the cascade radical bicyclization of N-phenyl-4-pentenamides with N-methyl-N-methacryloylbenzamides under silver-catalyzed conditions is described. Based on this newly developed strategy, a variety of valuable γ-lactam containing isoquinolinediones can be effectively synthesized in one step within 0.5 h, during which two C-C bonds, one C-N bond, and two new N-heterocycles were formed concurrently. With N-aryl allyl carbamates, similar 2-oxazolidinone substituted isoquinolinedione compounds can likewise be produced. The approach demonstrates wide functional group compatibility, high step- and atom-economy, and the ability to be scaled up to gram quantities in a satisfactory yield. It marks the first instance of introducing γ-lactams into isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones to construct linked hybrid drug-like molecules, thereby making this strategy highly attractive to drug discovery.

Abstract
Readily available hydroxamic acids were leveraged to access challenging nitrones in the presence of H3PO4 as a Brønsted acid catalyst and engaged in an intramolecular (3+2) annulation reaction to make valuable cyclopentane-fused isoxazolidines with high yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. The products were further utilized in a unique base-promoted benzilic amide rearrangement to provide cyclopentane-fused γ-lactams bearing three contiguous stereocenters as a single diastereomer.

Abstract
Visible-light-promoted site-selective and direct C-F bond functionalization of polyfluorinated iminosulfides was accomplished with alkenes and water under redox-neutral conditions, affording a diverse array of γ-lactams with a fluoro- and perfluoroalkyl-substituted carbon centre. A variety of perfluoroalkyl units, including C2F5, C3F7, C4F9, and C5F11 underwent site-selective defluorofunctionalization. This protocol allows high chemoselectivity control and shows excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies reveal that the remarkable changes of the electron geometries during the defluorination widen the redox window between the substrates and the products and ensure the chemoselectivity of single C(sp3)-F bond cleavage.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of the stems of Micromelum falcatum (Lour.) Tan. led to the isolation of two new lactam derivatives, named 3-(hydroxy(10-hydroxyphenyl)methyl)-4-(16-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1) and 3-(hydroxy(10-hydroxy-9-methoxyphenyl)methyl)-4-(16-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (2), along with five known compounds, trans-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (3), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4), m-hydroxybenzoic acid (5), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (6), and gallic acid (7). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic studies, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, mass spectrometry (MS) data, ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, infrared (IR) data, and comparison with the literature. All compounds were evaluated for toxicity against brine shrimp larvae and cytotoxicity to HeLa and HepG-2 cells. Compounds 1-2 exhibited moderate brine shrimp larvae toxicity with an LC50 value of 50.6 and 121.8 μg mL-1, respectively.

Abstract
Silyloxypyrone-based (5+2) cycloadditions were facilitated by amides that allowed for increased reactivity and a pathway for cleaving the tether to afford net intermolecular cycloadducts. Various amides underwent facile cycloaddition, and several experiments revealed steric and electronic factors that accelerate the reaction. tert-Butyl amides reacted faster than less hindered variants in multiple cases. In the case of dearomative oxidopyrylium-indole (5+2) cycloadditions, an amine-based tether was ineffective, whereas amides enabled this powerful transformation. Theoretical calculations evidenced a concerted asynchronous reaction in which the amide facilitates a conformational driving force enabling cycloaddition. Finally, a one-pot acylation/(5+2) cycloaddition/nucleophilic lactam opening and other examples of tosyl lactam opening of a modified cycloadduct were demonstrated.

Abstract
A concise approach to the construction of the 2-pyrrolin-5-one scaffold was developed via a one-pot reaction with formal [3 + 2] annulation/elimination between β-keto nitrile/β-keto ester and unsubstituted α-halohydroxamates. This reaction features mild conditions, easy handling, broad substrate scope and good yields. Remarkably, the products could be readily converted into potentially bioactive alkylidenepyrrolinones, pyrroles, pyran-fused pyrrole heterocycles and other useful compounds, exhibiting versatile synthetic potential.

A straightforward approach for the asymmetric synthesis of multifunctionalized γ-lactams, including those bearing two tetrasubstituted stereogenic centers, has been developed through a palladium-catalyzed vinylogous addition/allylic amination process between 1,3-dienes and α-ketoamides. This protocol features advantages of ready substrate availability, broad applicability, high efficiency, and excellent stereoselectivity, making it an attractive complementary tool to the previous strategies.

Abstract
Prenylated and reverse-prenylated indolines are privileged scaffolds in numerous naturally occurring indole alkaloids with a broad spectrum of important biological properties. Development of straightforward and stereoselective methods to enable the synthesis of structurally diverse prenylated and reverse-prenylated indoline derivatives is highly desirable and challenging. In this context, the most direct approaches to achieve this goal generally rely on transition-metal-catalyzed dearomative allylic alkylation of electron-rich indoles. However, the electron-deficient indoles are much less explored, probably due to their diminished nucleophilicity. Herein, a photoredox-catalyzed tandem Giese radical addition/Ireland-Claisen rearrangement is disclosed. Diastereoselective dearomative prenylation and reverse-prenylation of electron-deficient indoles proceed smoothly under mild conditions. An array of tertiary α-silylamines as radical precursors is readily incorporated in 2,3-disubstituted indolines with high functional compatibility and excellent diastereoselectivity (>20:1 d.r.). The corresponding transformations of the secondary α-silylamines provide the biologically important lactam-fused indolines in one-pot synthesis. Subsequently, a plausible photoredox pathway is proposed based on control experiments. The preliminary bioactivity study reveals a potential anticancer property of these structurally appealing indolines.

Abstract
Photocycloaddition is a powerful reaction to enable the conversion of alkenes into high-value synthetic materials that are normally difficult to obtain under thermal conditions. Lactams and pyridines, both prominent in pharmaceutical applications, currently lack effective synthetic strategies to combine them within a single molecular structure. Here we describe an efficient approach to diastereoselective pyridyl lactamization via a photoinduced [3+2] cycloaddition, based on the unique triplet-state reactivity of N-N pyridinium ylides in the presence of a photosensitizer. The corresponding triplet diradical intermediates allow the stepwise radical [3+2] cycloaddition with a broad range of activated and unactivated alkenes under mild conditions. This method exhibits excellent efficiency, diastereoselectivity and functional group tolerance, providing a useful synthon for ortho-pyridyl γ- and δ-lactam scaffolds with syn-configuration in a single step. Combined experimental and computational studies reveal that the energy transfer process leads to a triplet-state diradical of N-N pyridinium ylides, which promotes the stepwise cycloaddition.

Abstract
A BF3-catalyzed atom-economical fluorocarbamoylation reaction of alkyne-tethered carbamoyl fluorides is reported. The catalyst acts as both a fluoride source and Lewis acid activator, thereby enabling the formal insertion of alkynes into strong C-F bonds through a halide recycling mechanism. The developed method provides access to 3-(fluoromethylene) oxindoles and γ-lactams with excellent stereoselectivity, including fluorinated derivatives of known protein kinase inhibitors. Experimental and computational studies support a stepwise mechanism for the fluorocarbamoylation reaction involving a turnover-limiting cyclization step, followed by internal fluoride transfer from a BF3-coordinated carbamoyl adduct. For methylene oxindoles, a thermodynamically driven Z-E isomerization is facilitated by a transition state with aromatic character. In contrast, this aromatic stabilization is not relevant for γ-lactams, which results in a higher barrier for isomerization and the exclusive formation of the Z-isomer.

Abstract
Multicomponent radical polar crossover (RPC) reactions are useful for leveraging both radical and polar bond-forming steps to rapidly build molecular complexity in a single transformation. However, multicomponent RPC reactions that utilize carbonyl π-bond electrophiles are underrepresented in the literature. Herein, we describe a mild, photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative multicomponent RPC reaction that couples carboxylic acids, Michael acceptors, and carbonyl electrophiles for the formation of diversely functionalized γ-amino butyric acid derivatives. This transformation also facilitates the synthesis of complex and biologically relevant γ-lactam compounds.

Abstract
γ-Lactams are valuable heterocycles in synthetic chemistry and drug development. Here, we report a reductive aza-Pauson-Khand reaction (aza-PKR) of an alkyne, a nitrile, and Co2(CO)8. A wide array of bicyclic α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams containing two adjacent stereocenters, including an all-carbon quaternary center, from alkyne-tethered malononitriles are efficiently accessed in high diastereoselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic investigations by experiments and DFT calculations reveal that the reaction undergoes an aza-PKR process followed by a in situ reduction. The reducing reagent generated in situ from water also provides a practical tool for deuterium incorporation into the γ-position of lactams using D2O as the deuterium source. This study represents a new mode for [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition that enables the direct use of nitrile in aza-heterocycle synthesis.

Abstract
Here, we are reporting the spontaneous transformation of the active esters of N-Boc protected E-α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids into the corresponding Z-α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams with concomitant E → Z isomerization in the presence of a weak base. No cyclization was observed in the absence of the base. Analysis revealed that amide γ-NH is crucial for both lactamization and E → Z isomerization. This mild transformation provides easy access to the synthetically challenging α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams and also gives new insights into the E → Z isomerization of double bonds.

Abstract
The DNA topoisomerase enzymes are widely distributed throughout all spheres of life and are necessary for cell function. Numerous antibacterial and cancer chemotherapeutic drugs target the various topoisomerase enzymes because of their roles in maintaining DNA topology during DNA replication and transcription. Agents derived from natural products, like anthracyclines, epipodophyllotoxins and quinolones, have been widely used to treat a variety of cancers. A very active field of fundamental and clinical research is the selective targeting of topoisomerase II enzymes for cancer treatment. This thematic review summarizes the recent advances in the anticancer activity of the most potent topoisomerase II inhibitors (anthracyclines, epipodophyllotoxins and fluoroquinolones) their modes of action, and structure-activity relationships (SARs) organized chronologically in the last ten years from 2013 to 2023. The review also highlights the mechanism of action and SARs of promising new topoisomerase II inhibitors.

Abstract
Developing new on-DNA reactions is paramount to the development of new encoded libraries in the pursuit of novel pharmaceutical lead compounds. Lactam-containing molecules have been shown to be effective in a wide range of therapeutic areas and therefore represent a promising target for further investigation by DNA-encoded library screening. In pursuit of this motif, we report a novel method for the introduction of lactam-containing structures onto a DNA headpiece through the Ugi four-center three-component reaction (4C-3CR). This novel method is successful in three different approaches to give unique on-DNA lactam structures: on-DNA aldehyde coupled with isonitriles and amino acids; on-DNA isonitrile coupled with aldehydes and amino acids; and on-DNA isonitrile coupled with amines and acid aldehydes.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective decarboxylative [3 + 2] cyclization reaction of alkyne-substituted cyclic carbamates with azlactones has been established. A range of optically pure γ-butyrolactams bearing two vicinal tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters were obtained in high yields with good to excellent stereoselectivities (up to 99% yield, 99:1 dr, and 99% ee). This is the first example of asymmetric synthesis γ-butyrolactams containing sterically congested vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters via a decarboxylative cyclization pathway.

Multicomponent Domino Cyclization of Ethyl Trifluoropyruvate with Methyl Ketones and Amino Alcohols as A New Way to γ-Lactam Annulated Oxazacycles. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041983. [PMID: 36838972 PMCID: PMC9967980 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28041983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
A new route to bicyclic γ-lactams was found, which was proposed as a three-component cyclization of ethyl trifluoropyruvate with methyl ketones and 1,2-, 1,3-amino alcohols. As a result, a series of trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyrrolo [2,1-b]oxazol-5-ones and tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine-6-ones was synthesized, in which the substituent at the nodal carbon atom was varied. The introduction of a twofold excess of ethyl trifluoropyruvate in reactions with amino alcohols and acetone made it possible to obtain the same bicycles, but functionalized with a hydroxyester fragment, which are formed due to four-component interactions of the reagents. Transformations with 2-butanone and aminoethanol lead predominantly to similar bicycles, while an analogous reaction with aminopropanol gives N-hydroxypropyl-2,3-dihydropyrrol-5-one. Almost all bicycles are formed as two diastereomers, the structure of which was determined using 1H, 19F, 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional experiments and XRD analysis. A domino mechanism for the formation of tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-b]oxazacycles was proposed, which was confirmed by their stepwise synthesis through the preliminary preparation of the aldol and bis-aldol from ethyl trifluoropyruvate and methyl ketones.

Abstract
A novel and convenient K2S2O8-mediated diiodo cyclization of 1,6-enynes for the facile synthesis of functionalized γ-lactam derivatives has been developed. This reaction features mild and transition-metal-free conditions, which offer a green and efficient entry to synthetically important γ-lactam scaffolds. Mechanistic studies suggest that iodide radicals initiate the cascade cyclic transformation.

Abstract
A convenient copper-catalyzed cascade cyclization/cyanation reaction for the construction of cyano-containing γ-lactams was developed. The protocol employed TMSCN as the cyano source and proceeded in water under simple conditions. Mechanistic studies indicated this reaction involved an amidyl radical initiated cascade 5-exo-trig cyclization/cyanation process. It is capable of generating a series of cyano-substituted γ-lactams and relative 2-oxazolidinone derivatives with a broad substrate scope.

Abstract
γ-Lactams are prevalent in small-molecule pharmaceuticals and provide useful precursors to highly substituted pyrrolidines. Despite numerous methods for the synthesis of this valuable motif, previous redox approaches to γ-lactam synthesis from α-haloamides and olefins require additional electron withdrawing functionality as well as N-aryl substitution to promote electrophilicity of the intermediate radical and prevent competitive O-nucleophilicity about the amide. Using α-bromo imides and α-olefins, our strategy enables the synthesis of monosubstituted protected γ-lactams in a formal [3 + 2] fashion. These species are poised for further derivatization into more complex heterocyclic scaffolds, complementing existing methods. C-Br bond scission occurs through two complementary approaches, the formation of an electron donor-acceptor complex between the bromoimide and a nitrogenous base which undergoes photoinduced electron transfer, or triplet sensitization with photocatalyst, to furnish an electrophilic carbon-centered radical. The addition of Lewis acids allows for further increased electrophilicity of the intermediate carbon-centered radical, enabling tertiary substituted α-Br-imides to be used as coupling partners as well as internal olefins.

Abstract
Single-carbon atom transfer reactions are lacking in organic synthesis, partly because of the absence of atomic carbon sources under standard solution-phase conditions. We report here that N-heterocyclic carbenes can serve as atomic carbon donors through the loss of a 1,2-diimine moiety. This strategy is applicable to single-carbon atom transfer to α,β-unsaturated amides, which can be converted into homologated γ-lactams through the formation of four single bonds to one carbon center in one operation.

Abstract
The use of plant secondary metabolites has gained considerable attention among clinicians in the prevention and treatment of cancer. A secondary metabolite isolated mainly from the roots and rhizomes of Podophyllum species (Berberidaceae) is aryltetralin lignan - podophyllotoxin (PTOX). The purpose of this review is to discuss the therapeutic properties of PTOX as an important anticancer compound of natural origin. The relevant information regarding the antitumor mechanisms of podophyllotoxin and its derivatives were collected and analyzed from scientific databases. The results of the analysis showed PTOX exhibits potent cytotoxic activity; however, it cannot be used in its pure form due to its toxicity and generation of many side effects. Therefore, it practically remains clinically unusable. Currently, high effort is focused on attempts to synthesize analogs of PTOX that have better properties for therapeutic use e.g. etoposide (VP-16), teniposide, etopophos. PTOX derivatives are used as anticancer drugs which are showing additional immunosuppressive, antiviral, antioxidant, hypolipemic, and anti-inflammatory effects. In this review, attention is paid to the high potential of the usefulness of in vitro cultures of P. peltatum which can be a valuable source of lignans, including PTOX. In conclusion, the preclinical pharmacological studies in vitro and in vivo confirm the anticancer and chemotherapeutic potential of PTOX and its derivatives. In the future, clinical studies on human subjects are needed to certify the antitumor effects and the anticancer mechanisms to be certified and analyzed in more detail and to validate the experimental pharmacological preclinical studies.

Abstract
The sustainable C-H bond ethynylation of N-aryl γ-lactam has been achieved in a highly regioselective manner. In this protocol, earth-abundant cobalt(III)-catalyst was found to be effective, triggering the C-H metalation using a weakly coordinating lactam group. Herein, the ortho-(sp2)-H ethynylation has been obtained regioselectively. The mechanistic studies reveal the non-involvement of the radical pathway for this conversion. However, the parallel kinetic isotope experiment suggests that the C-H bond activation is involved in the rate-determining step. In addition, the synthetic utility of ethynylated N-aryl γ-lactam has been demonstrated for many useful transformations.
