RHODIUM-CATALYZED AZACARBONYLATION OF ALLYL PHOSPHATES. THE PREPARATION OF β,γ-UNSATURATED AMIDES FROM ALLYL ALCOHOLS

Abstract
Allyl phosphates undergo a smooth azacarbonylation reaction with amines to afford β,γ-unsaturated amides at 50 °C under CO atmosphere (20 atm) in the presence of Rh6(CO)16 catalyst and Bu4NCl co-catalyst.
