Base-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation reactions of ω-hydroxylactams

Active methylene compounds such as methyl ketones, 1,3-dicarbonyl systems and nitromethane condense under the influence of base with ω-hydroxylactams, thereby forming α-alkylated nitrogen heterocycles.The ease of alkylation is detemined by the position of a tautomeric equilibrium between ω-hydroxylactam and the open-chain amide-aldehyde, which is dependent upon the type of N-substituent and upon the lactam ring size.Some applications for the products obtained are indicated.
