In the presence of substoichiometric Pd(OAc)(2), carboxylic acids undergo highly regio- and stereoselective additions to ynamides to provide α-acyloxyenamides.
In the presence of a diene-ligated rhodium complex, ynamides and nitroalkenes undergo catalytic [2 + 2] cycloadditions to provide cyclobutenamides. The presence of sodium tetraphenylborate was found to be crucial for the reactions to proceed efficiently.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
