Abstract

A Brønsted acid-catalyzed cascade process, involving in situ formation of acyclic tertiary enamides and intramolecular Michael reaction, is developed for the synthesis of functionalized cyclic tertiary enamides. Based on the dual reactivities of the enamide moiety, several reaction sequences were realized by using rationally designed substrates, leading to biologically relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with diverse structural skeletons in a concise and diastereocontrolled manner.
