Photocatalytic Synthesis of Medium-Sized Lactams via Cascade Ring Expansion Reaction of Unstrained Cyclic Amines with NHC-Borane

Abstract Medium-ring lactams are important structural motifs in many scientific fields but are difficult to synthesize due to unfavorable entropic/enthalpic effects and transannular interactions. Herein, an efficient strategy for accessing highly functionalized borylated 9- to 11...
