Abstract
A mild and operationally simple hydroamidation of electron-deficient terminal alkynes by amides in the presence of a Pd-catalyst enables a stereoselective synthesis of Z-enamides. Hydrogen bonding between the amido proton and carbonyl oxygen of ester group maybe provides the extra stability to the Z-isomer of an intermediate vinyl-palladium complex, which subsequently undergoes protodepalladation and leads to the Z-enamide selectively.
