A simple procedure for the conversion of tertiary lactams to 2-monoalkylated cyclic amines is described. The reaction sequence involves conversion of a lactam to a thioiminium ion followed by reaction with an organocopper (RCu) reagent and final reduction with triacetoxyborohydride. The reaction is high yielding and shows an excellent functional group tolerance. Its utility is demonstrated by a rapid synthesis of indolizidine 167B. The excellent chemoselectivity of the process, where only monoalkylation products are formed, is rationalized by a mechanism involving the formation of a transient enamine.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A practical method for the synthesis of gem-2,2-disubstituted tertiary amines from the corresponding lactams (or amides) is reported. It is based on the reaction of thioiminium ions, easily prepared from lactams and amides wi
