title: A new synthesis of gamma-lactams based on the reaction of vinyl sulfilimines with dichloroketene.
abstract: The reactions of several aryl-, furanyl-, and vinyl substituted sulfilimines with dichloroketene proceeded at 25 degrees C to yield thioalkyl substituted gamma-lactams which, in turn, were converted to a variety of nitrogen-containing substrates. [reaction: see text]
