Abstract

A copper-catalyzed Petasis-type reaction of imines, acid chlorides, and organoboranes gives α-substituted amides. This reaction does not require the use of activated imines or the transfer of special units from the organoboranes and represent a useful generalization of the Petasis reaction.
