In a typical experiment Pd(OAc)2 (5.6 mg, 0.025 mmol), phos-
phite ligand (L1eL4) (0.05 mmol), 1-iodocyclohexene (1 mmol),
amine nucleophile (3 mmol of a/2 mmol of b/1.1 mmol of c/
1.5 mmol of d) and 0.5 mL triethylamine were dissolved in DMF
(10 mL) under argon in a 100 mL autoclave. The atmosphere was
changed to carbon monoxide and the autoclave was pressurized to
the given pressure by carbon monoxide. The reaction was con-
ducted for the given reaction time upon stirring at 50 ꢀC (or 30 ꢀC)
and analyzed by GCeMS. The mixture was then concentrated and
evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in chloroform
(20 mL) and washed with water (3ꢂ20 mL). The organic phase was
dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to a crystalline material
or to a waxy residue. All compounds were subjected to column
chromatography (Silicagel 60 (Merck), (0.063e0.200 mm), EtOAc/
CHCl3 (the exact ratios are specified in characterization for each
compound)).

3. Conclusions
In a typical experiment Pd(OAc)2, phosphite ligand (L1eL4), 1-
iodocyclohexene, amine nucleophile and triethylamine were dis-
solved in DMF (for the quantity of the reagents See Section 4.2)
under argon in a 100 mL three-necked flask equipped with a gas
inlet, reflux condenser with a balloon (filled with argon) at the top.
The atmosphere was changed to carbon monoxide. The reaction
was conducted for the given reaction time upon stirring at 50 ꢀC
and analysed by GCeMS (internal standard: naphthalene). The
mixture was then concentrated and evaporated to dryness and
worked-up as described in Section 4.2.
The double carbonylation of an iodoalkene model compound
has been carried out in palladium-catalysed aminocarbonylation.
Alkenyl-glyoxylamides, valuable building blocks in synthetic
chemistry, have been synthesized for the first time using this
methodology. Arylphosphite heterobidentate P,O-ligands possess-
ing binaphthyl backbone were used as ligands in palladium cata-
lysts formed in situ from palladium(II) acetate and two molar
equivalents of the corresponding phosphite ligand.
