ChemInform Abstract
A new route to 1,4-dicarbonyls using Rh(I) mediated hydroacylation reaction between (2-aminopicolyl)imines and acrylate esters is described. The imine component of the reaction can tolerate a range of both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups. The enoate component can contain a variety of ester groups, however, the introduction of α- or β-substituents reduces the yields.
