Highly regioselective Heck couplings of aryl triflates with N-acyl-N-vinylamines lacking an N- alkyl substituent were achieved with reaction times of approximately 1 h in yields ranging from 62 to 98% using 1.5 mol% of Pd2 (dba) 3, 3 mol% of DPPF, and diethylisopropylamine in dioxane. The efficiency of these cross-couplings were studied with several N-vinylamides and an example each of an N-vinylcarbamate and an N-vinylurea. The Heck coupling ...
