Abstract

Spirocyclic pyrrolidones and piperidones were synthesized starting from readily available α-ketolactones and α-ketolactams employing [3+2]- and [3+3]-aza-annulation reactions. Annulation reactions proceeded with good yields and further reduction of the exocyclic C=C double bond of the enamide moiety proceeded with excellent diastereoselectivity. Overall, one C−C and two C−N bonds, as well as three new stereocenters were created in a diastereoselective manner resulting in a fast upbuild of molecular complexity.
