Brønsted acids catalyze a multicomponent reaction of benzaldehyde with amines and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to afford highly functionalized γ-lactam derivatives. The reaction consists of a Mannich reaction of an enamine to an imine, both generated <i>in situ</i>, promoted by a phosphoric acid catalyst and a subsequent intramolecular cyclization. The hydrolysis of the cyclic enamine substrate can provide enol derivatives and, moreover, a second attack of the amine on the carboxylate can affo ...[more]
