Abstract

Fused bicyclic cyclopropanes were converted by Lewis acid-catalysis with thioureas to furo-, pyrano, and pyrrololactams with yields of up to 99 % and high diastereoselectivity. The formation of the title compounds, representing a formal [4+1]-cycloaddition to a donor-acceptor substituted cyclopropane, follows a cascade reaction involving SN1-type ring-opening addition and cyclization. Thiourea, being a cost-effective and odorless reagent, acts as an N,N-bis-nucleophile to generate bicyclic compounds containing an N-substituted gamma-lactam moiety.
