β-Lactam is a ubiquitous scaffold in bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we disclose a streamlined method for the construction of β-lactams starting from unactivated alkenes and alkyl bromides via a Cu-catalyzed inter-/intramolecular carboamidation. This reaction proceeded smoothly under mild reaction conditions and exhibited a broad substrate scope and various functional groups. This protocol is not only compatible with 1, 2, and 3° alkyl bromides but also suitable for α-bromo nitrile as well as various benzyl bromides. The mechanism exploration indicated that sequential radical addition/reductive elimination was involved.
β-内酰胺是生物活性化合物和药物中普遍存在的骨架。在此,我们公开了一种从未活化的烯烃和烷基溴出发,通过铜催化的分子间/分子内碳酰胺化反应构建β-内酰胺的简化方法。该反应在温和的反应条件下顺利进行,底物范围广泛,适用于各种官能团。该方法不仅与伯、仲、叔烷基溴兼容,还适用于α-溴代腈以及各种苄基溴。机理研究表明,该反应涉及自由基的顺序加成/还原消除过程。
