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.
