Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ‐catalyzed ring expansion of five‐membered ring 1,4‐diketones in the presence of primary amines leads to eight‐membered ring lactams. When applied to starting materials with a tetrahydrothiophene or pyrrolidine moiety, tetrahydro‐2 H ‐1,4‐thiazocin‐3‐ones and hexahydro‐1,4‐diazocin‐2‐ones are obtained as representatives of these very rare heterocyclic systems. In the case of tetrahydrofuran derivatives, other reaction conditions are required and yields of tetrahydro‐2 H ‐1,4‐oxazocin‐3‐ones are very low.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
