Novel Two-Step Stereoselective Synthesis of (E)-Enamines and 1-Amino-1,3-dienes from Terminal Alkynes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1997-5750

(E)-Enamines and 1-amino-1,3-dienes have been prepared by reaction of secondary amines with alk-1-en-1-yl acetates resulting from the ruthenium-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov addition of acetic acid to terminal alkynes and enynes.
