Abstract

Herein, we report a KOtBu-catalysed α-homoallylic alkylation of acyclic amides with 1-aryl-1,3-dienes. With this transition metal-free and atom-economic protocol, a series of α-homoallylic alkylated acyclic amides were synthesized in good to excellent yields. This transformation is proposed to proceed through a cation-π interaction-based C-C bond formation from the in situ-generated potassium enolate with the diene unit.
