Abstract
Addition of amide enolates to acylsilanes generates β-silyloxy homoenolates by undergoing a 1,2-Brook rearrangement. These unique nucleophiles formed in situ can then undergo addition to alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, and imines. γ-Amino-β-hydroxy amide products derived from a diastereoselective addition to N-diphenylphosphinyl imines can be efficiently converted to γ-lactams.
