Abstract

A new method to functionalize enamides via an intermediacy of unsymmetrical 2-amidoallyl cations is reported. Generated under mild Brønsted acid catalysis, these reactive species were found to undergo addition with various nucleophiles at the less substituted α-carbon to produce highly substituted enamides in high yields with complete control of regioselectivity.
