21. N -Methylpyrrolidine undergoes unselective reaction to produce N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone in 22% yield at 69% conversion after heating for 48 h at 160 C in the presence of 1 mol % of 2 and 1.5 mol % of NaOH, which could also indicate an alternative pathway involving enamine or iminium intermediates (see: Sundararaju, B.; Achard, M.; Sharma, G. V.; Bruneau, C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 10340
22. Leete, E. Planta Med. 1990, 56, 339). However, the reaction with N -methylpiperazine (entry 15) generates secondary amide exclusively, suggesting that the imine formation (Scheme 4) is likely a predominant path towards lactams
