Diastereoselective α-alkoxylation of lactamide N-alkyl groups via intramolecular formation of oxonium ions as the key intermediate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/a805638b

Stereoselective introduction of an alkoxy group to the amine unit of lactamide derivatives, under electrochemical oxidation conditions, was investigated based upon the assumption that a cyclic oxonium ion can be formed between the alkoxy substituent on th
