Two mechanistic pathways, that is, electrocyclization and electrophilic aromatic substitution, are operative in most intramolecular C?H amination reactions proceeding by metal nitrenoid catalysis. Reported here is an alternative mechanistic scaffold leading to benzofused δ-lactams selectively. Integrated experimental and computational analysis revealed that the reaction proceeds by a key spirocyclization step followed by a skeletal rearrangement. Based on this mechanistic insight, a new synthetic route to spirolactams has been developed.
