Abstract

Co2(CO)8-catalyzed ring-opening carbonylation of oxiranes and oxetane smoothly proceeds with high regioselectivity under 1 atm of carbon monoxide at room temperature to give the corresponding β- and γ-siloxy amides in high yields, respectively. [(R3Si)2NR1R2]+[Co(CO)4]− is thought to be an active catalyst species and directs the high regioselectivity of the carbonylation.
