Abstract

An original cobalt-catalyzed ynamide carbozincation leading mainly to diverse 3-aryl enamides with mild reaction conditions and good functional-group tolerance has been developed. This reaction displays an excellent regio- and total stereoselectivity and opens the way to appealing synthetic applications. Moreover, this approach allows the selective synthesis of biologically relevant 3,5-disubstituted oxazolone frameworks.
