Abstract

N-Acyl imines and enamides have been synthesized and subjected to the reaction conditions for palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation of aldehydes. These compounds were competent substrates resulting in the formation of N-acyl amino acids; however, the presence of water was found to be necessary. Direct study of the same amidocarbonylation reaction revealed that enamides could be detected during the course of the reaction. A ...
