An efficient stereoselective cyclization method by palladium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular enyne coupling of N-(3′-formylallylic) alkynamides was developed to yield α-alkylidene-β-formylmethyl-γ-lactams. The substitution pattern of the triple bond determines the β,γ-relative stereochemistry of the lactam product.
