Abstract

In the presence of CuCl2, N-(2′, 4′-dienyl)-2-alkynamides can be converted to α-alkylidene-σ-butyrolactams under the catalysis of palladium(II). In this reaction, CuCl2 is used to oxidize Pd(0) to regenerate Pd(II), or the carbon-palladium bond is quenched by the oxidative cleavage reaction of CuCl2.
