Abstract
Treatment of pyrrolidinone 3a with CAN under the usual conditions leads to formation of spiro compound 12, rather than to N-demethoxyphenylation. A study of the reactions of compound 12 with sodium chloride and sodium iodide furnished the proof for our assumption that the related non-isolable compounds 6 and 11 are the intermediates of the anomalous reactions of compounds 1a and 2a, respectively, with CAN.
