Ring Contractionof Bicyclic Lactams: A MolecularEditing Aza-Favorski-Type Approach to Tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylicAcids

Abstract Development of skeletal editing methods offers new horizons for the acceleration of drug discovery. An original aza-Favorski-type approach is described for the ring contraction of benzazepine-2-ones, providing versatile tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acids. The sequenc...

N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)imines as Versatile and Readily Accessible Precursors for Nitrile Synthesis

Abstract Herein, we report the selective transformation of N‑(4H‑1,2,4‑triazol‑4‑yl)imines into substituted benzonitriles. These imines are readily accessible from aldehydes. The method provides a rapid and mild procedure that utilizes a previously undescribed nitrogen source. Th...
