Abstract
β,β-Dihaloenamides can be successfully involved in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. Whereas the resulting trisubstituted (Z)-β-bromoenamides could participate in a second cross-coupling leading to β,β-disubstituted enamides, the (Z)-β-chloroenamides have been converted to disubstituted ynamides by an E2 elimination.

The Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of the gem-dibromo-enamide 13 with n-Bu3SnH led to the (Z)-b-bromoenamide 26 (55%), whose configuration was readily assigned by 1H NMR, and to the fully reduced enamide 27 (15%) as a by-product. However, no trace of the (E) geometrical isomer of compound 26 could be detected. A similar hydrogenolysis of the gem-dichloroenamides could not be achieved (Scheme [4] ).
Scheme 4
This result confirms that in b,b-dihaloenamides of type A, the oxidative addition of Pd(0) complexes occurs at the less-hindered carbon-halogen bond, as in the non-hetero-substituted series. For the Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of 1,1-dibromoalkenes, see:

Tosylation of but-3-enylamine hydrochloride, benzylamine and p-anisidine (TsCl, Et3N, CH2Cl2, 0 °C to r.t.) afforded the corresponding sulfonamides 1a (58%), 1b (77%) and 1c (84%), respectively. Benzoylation of aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal (BzCl, Et3N, cat. DMAP, CH2Cl2, 0 °C) provided the benzamide 1d (87%).

To a solution of the gem-dichloroenamide 3b (178 mg, 0.500 mmol) in THF (10 mL) were successively added benzeneboronic acid (98 mg, 0.80 mmol, 1.6 equiv), a 1 M aq solution of NaOH (1.50 mL, 1.50 mmol, 3 equiv) and Pd(PPh3)4 (29 mg, 0.025 mmol, 0.05 equiv). After 3 h at reflux, the reaction mixture was cooled to r.t., filtered through a pad of Celite (EtOAc) and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chomatography (petroleum ether-EtOAc, 90:10) to afford 195 mg (98%) of 7 as a white solid; mp 124 °C.

In all the cross-couplings investigated, GC-MS and NMR analyses of the crude β-haloenamides indicate a stereoisomeric ratio > 95:5.
15The (Z)-olefinic configuration of the β-chloroenamides of type B was further confirmed by their ability to undergo dehydrochlorination (E2 anti-elimination) by treatment with a base, whereas the (E) geometrical isomers would not react under these conditions, see ref. 16.

To a solution of β-chloroenamide 7 (100 mg, 0.251 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) were successively added 50% aq NaOH (10 mL) and tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate (17 mg, 0.050 mmol, 0.2 equiv) and the resulting mixture was vigorously stirred at r.t. After 7 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5 °C, and diluted with H2O and Et2O. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with Et2O. The combined extracts were washed with a sat. aq solution of NH4Cl, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure.
