Described here are transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective arylation and vinylation reactions of α-substituted lactams, such as γ-lactams. The use of various electrophiles and ligands are described, and result in the construction of α-quaternary centers in good yields (up to 91% yield) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

The present methods treat neurofibromatosis by a administering to a subject perillyl alcohol or iso-perillyl alcohol. The present methods also treat neurofibromatosis by administering to a subject a carbamate of perillyl alcohol, or a carbamate of iso-perillyl alcohol. The perillyl alcohol carbamate may comprise perillyl alcohol conjugated with rolipram or temozolomide.
