α,β-Unsaturated oxime pivalates are proposed to undergo reversible C(sp2)-H insertion with cationic Rh(III) complexes to furnish five-membered metallacycles. In the presence of 1,1-disubstituted olefins, these species participate in irreversible migratory insertion to give, after reductive elimination, 2,3-dihydropyridine products in good yields. Catalytic hydrogenation can then be used to convert these molecules into piperidines, which are important structural components of numerous pharmaceuticals.

A new method for preparing α-branched enones from carboxylic acid derivatives is reported. The procedure commenced by the reaction of N,O-dimethylamides with a masked acyl anion equivalent, followed by the addition of (trimethylsilyl-methyl)cerium dichloride to give intermediates that undergo Lewis acid mediated olefination to produce enol ethers that are then hydrolyzed to afford simple α-branched enones in high overall yields.
