ABSTRACT
The synthesis of medium-sized lactams is a great challenge because of the unfavorable transannular interactions and entropic barriers in the transition state. We have developed a ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylation of α-aminoaryl-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) that allows for the efficient preparation of valuable eight-membered benzolactams under ligand-free conditions. The amino group served a dual role of both directing group and nucleophile to facilitate the metallacycle formation and the carbonylation.
