[2+2]-Photocycloaddition of N-Benzylmaleimide to Alkenes As an Approach to Functional 3-Azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes.

A one-step synthesis of functionalized 3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes by [2+2]-photochemical intermolecular cycloaddition of N-benzylmaleimide to alkenes was elaborated.

Photochemical Synthesis of 2-Azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes: Advanced Building Blocks for Drug Discovery. Synthesis of 2,3-Ethanoproline.

Intramolecular photochemical [2 + 2]-cyclization of acetophenone enamides gave 2-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes, advanced building blocks for drug discovery.

Photochemical Synthesis of 3-Azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes: Advanced Building Blocks for Drug Discovery.

We have developed a rapid two-step synthesis of substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes which are attractive building blocks for drug discovery.
