Synthesis of a tricyclic lactam via Beckmann rearrangement and ring-rearrangement metathesis as key steps

Abstract

A tricyclic lactam is reported in a four step synthesis sequence via Beckmann rearrangement and ring-rearrangement metathesis as key steps. Here, we used a simple starting material such as dicyclopentadiene.
