We report a method for the selective α,β-dehydrogenation of amides in the presence of other carbonyl moieties under mild conditions. Our strategy relies on electrophilic activation coupled to in situ selective selenium-mediated dehydrogenation. The α,β-unsaturated products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, and their synthetic versatility was demonstrated by a range of transformations. Mechanistic experiments suggest formation of an electrophilic SeIV species.

A new approach for the fully chemoselective α-arylation of amides is presented. By means of electrophilic amide activation, aryl groups can be regioselectively introduced α- to amides, even in the presence of esters and alkyl ketones. Mechanistic studies reveal key reaction intermediates and emphasize a remarkably subtle base effect in this transformation. Arylating me softly: A new approach for the fully chemoselective α-arylation of amides has been developed. When electrophilic amide activation is employed, aryl groups can be regioselectively introduced in the position α to the amide, and that even in the presence of esters or alkyl ketones. Mechanistic studies emphasize a remarkably subtle base effect in this transformation.
