Abstract
α,β-Unsaturated oxime pivalates undergo reversible C(sp2)-H insertion with cationic Rh(III) complexes to furnish five-membered metallacycles. In the presence of 1,1-disubstituted olefins, an irreversible migratory insertion followed by reductive elimination gives 2,3-dihydropyridines in good yields. A subsequent catalytic hydrogenation can then provide piperidines.
