Abstract
A novel, efficient, and totally stereoselective synthesis of (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated primary amides is reported. This process is consistent with a SmI(2)-mediated sequential reaction of an unmasked samarium chloroacetamide enolate with an aldehyde, followed by a beta-elimination to produce (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated primary amides in good yields.
