• The stereochemistries of compounds 6a and 6b were assigned by converting them to N-unsubstituted lactams under Birch conditions. Thus, αR, 4S-6a afforded (R)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one, [α]D=+37.7° (c=1.00, MeOH, mp 98–99 °C (lit.17[α]D=+40.1° (c=1.00, MeOH, mp 100–101 °C) and αR, 4R-6b afforded (R)-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one, [α]D=−36.6° (c=0.30, MeOH, mp 99–100 °C (lit.17 [α]D=−42.6° (c=0.30, MeOH, mp 100–101 °C). In addition, the N-unsubstituted lactams thus synthesized were shown to be optically pure (≥95% ee) by carrying out chiral solvating reagent studies using (R)-(-)-2,2,2,-trifluoro-1-(9-anthryl)ethanol.18
