More Details:
A cationic palladium-catalyzed arylalkenylation of ynamides is presented. The putative keteniminium arylpalladium intermediate likely dictates the regioselective carbopalladation of the ynamide to form a vinylpalladium species. The capture of this complex by the olefin yields linear conjugated β-alkenyl aminodienes (especially with trans selectivity). The transformation features a broad scope with labile functional group tolerance and makes 42 unusual molecular scaffolds with structural diversity. DFT studies provide valuable insights into the reaction mechanism.
