Abstract: A novel method for the stereoselective preparation of 1-azaspiranes is described. Treatment of α- and β-substituted 3-(methoxyphenyl)-N-methoxypropionamides 1 with phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) initiates efficient azaspirocyclization, via a putative N-acylnitrenium ion intermediate, to provide cyclohexa-2,5 and 2,4-dienone spirolactams 8 and 11 with good π-facial selectivity. Furthermore, a preliminary study indicates that this strategy is also amenable to the preparation of 1-azaspiro[5.5]undeca-2,5-dienones. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
