ε-Caprolactam and δ-valerolactam are important commodity chemicals used in the manufacture of nylons, with millions of tons produced annually. Biological production of these highly valued chemicals has been limited due to a lack of enzymes that cyclize ω-amino fatty acid

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 4-aryl-2-piperidinones was realized for the first time by asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboron reagents to 5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinones in the presence of a chiral bisphosphine-rhodium catalyst. In the reaction introducing 4-fluorophenyl group, the use of 4-fluorophenylboroxine and 1 equiv

A series of 3-substituted 2-piperidinone (delta-valerolactam) and hexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one (epsilon-caprolactam) derivatives were prepared and evaluated as anticonvulsants in mice. In the 2-piperidinone series, 3,3-diethyl compound 7b is the most effective anticonvulsant against pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures (ED50, 37 mg/kg; PI (TD50/ED50), 4.46), and

A comparative analysis for relative stability between normal and tautomeric forms in the excited electronic states of 7-azaindole···δ-valerolactam 1:1 complex and 7-azaindole homodimer has been presented. The tautomeric configuration of the complex is estimated to be ~6 kcal/mol more stable
