Novel Amide-Directed Hydrocarbonylation and Double Carbonylation of N-Allylamides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00253a051

The rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation and palladium-catalyzed hydroesteryfication of N-allylamides give isoaldehyde (1) and isoester (5), respectively, with good regioselectivity through chelation control while the rhodium- and Co2Rh2(CO)12-catalyzed reactions of an N-methallylamide give a novel double carbonylation product (10) and a pyrrolidine (11), respectively, with exellent selectivity.
