Preparation and Allylation of Enamides and Enecarbamates Generated via Iron(0) Reduction of Oximes and Derivatives

Abstract

Reductive acylation of oximes and oxime carbonates can be effected with iron powder in the presence of an acid chloride or a chloroformate to produce enamides or enecarbamates.

Key words

acylations - N-acyliminium ions - addition reactions - allylations - reductions
