Chemoselective ?,?-Dehydrogenation of Saturated Amides.


ABSTRACT: We report a method for the selective ?,?-dehydrogenation of amides in the presence of other carbonyl moieties under mild conditions. Our strategy relies on electrophilic activation coupled to in?situ selective selenium-mediated dehydrogenation. The ?,?-unsaturated products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, and their synthetic versatility was demonstrated by a range of transformations. Mechanistic experiments suggest formation of an electrophilic SeIV species.
