Abstract
A Rh(III)-catalyzed umpolung amidation of alkenylboronic acids for the synthesis of enamides proceeds readily at room temperature and offers a wide functional group tolerance. In combination with hydroboration, this reaction enables a formal anti-Markovnikov hydroamidation of terminal alkynes, stereospecifically affording the trans-enamides in excellent yields.
