This methodology allowed the synthesis of a library of αchlorolactams (mono and bicyclic), which were tested for herbicidal activity, trans-3-chloro-4-methyl-1-(3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone being the most active.6 p.application/pdfeng(c) Wiley-VCH, 2018LactamesHerbicidesRadicals (Química)Síntesi orgànicaLactamsHerbicidesRadicals (Chemistry)Organic synthesisSynthesis of a-chlorolactams by cyanoborohydride-mediated radical cyclization of trichloroacetamidesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6832232019-02-13info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess29603478
