Lactam
A lactam is a cyclic amide. The term is a portmanteau of the words lactone + amide.
From left to right, general structures of a β-lactam, a γ-lactam, a δ-lactam, and an ε-lactam. The specific structures are β-propiolactam, γ-butyrolactam, δ-valerolactam, and ε-caprolactam.
Nomenclature
Greek prefixes in alphabetical order indicate ring size:
- α-Lactam (3-atom rings)
- β-Lactam (4-atom rings)
- γ-Lactam (5-atom rings)
- δ-Lactam (6-atom rings)
- ε-Lactam (7-atom rings)
This ring-size nomenclature stems from the fact that a hydrolyzed α-Lactam leads to an α-amino acid and a β-Lactam to a β-amino acid, etc.
Synthesis
General synthetic methods exist for the organic synthesis of lactams.
- Lactams form by the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of oximes in the Beckmann rearrangement.
- Lactams form from cyclic ketones and hydrazoic acid in the Schmidt reaction.
- Lactams form from cyclisation of amino acids.
- Lactams form from intramolecular attack of linear acyl derivatives from the nucleophilic abstraction reaction.
- In iodolactamization [1] an iminium ion reacts with a halonium ion formed in situ by reaction of an alkene with iodine.
- Lactams form by copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkynes and nitrones in the Kinugasa reaction
- Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) can be utilized to obtain both β- as well as γ-lactam. At lower temp (−78 °C), β-lactam is the preferred product. At optimum temperatures, a highly useful γ-lactam known as Vince Lactam[2] is obtained.[3]
Tautomerization to lactims
A lactim is a cyclic carboximidic acid compound characterized by an endocyclic carbon-nitrogen double bond. They are formed when lactams undergo tautomerization.
Reactions
- Lactams can polymerize to polyamides.
gollark: I think the issue is that your `bot` is separate from the `client` and never actually started up.
gollark: ·Oh, `bot.run`, right.
gollark: ```pythonfrom transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizerimport discord.extfrom discord.ext import commandsTOKEN = 'NOT TELLING YOU'bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')@bot.eventasync def on_ready(): print("done!")@bot.command()async def test(ctx, arg): inputs = arg # initialize tokenizer and model from pretrained GPT2 model tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2') model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained('gpt2') outputs = model.generate( inputs, max_length=200, do_sample=True, temperature=1, top_k=50 ) response = (tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) await ctx.send(response)client.run(TOKEN)```
gollark: Yes, you can just use `@bot.event` or something.
gollark: This is probably obvious but you're sending it in a channel the bot sees, right?
