22. During previous studies on the Kharasch cyclisation of cyclic allylic trichloroacetamides, we found that 4 molecular sieves act as an effective acid scavenger resulting in high yields of products. See Refs. 4b,7 for full details.
23. Although racemic, the bicyclic γ-lactams formed from this tandem process are isolated as single diastereomers.

25. 3 (0.02 g) and a silicon carbide (SiC) bar. The vial was then sealed under Ar and the reaction mixture heated in a microwave reactor (Biotage initiator, 300 W) for the required time at 180 °C. Grubbs first-generation catalyst (10 mol %) was added and the mixture was heated at 60 °C until complete. The temperature was then raised to 180 °C and heating continued until the reaction was complete. Purification was carried out by flash column chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/EtOAc to afford the desired bicyclic γ-lactam.
26. The use of Hoveyda-Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst for the RCM and Kharasch steps gave more consistent yields of bicyclic γ-lactam 8 than using Grubbs 1st generation catalyst.
