Metal-Mediated Synthesis

Significance
The authors report a regio- and stereoselective silylzincation reaction of terminal ynamides using (Me3Si)3SiH and diethyl zinc. The resulting vinylzinc intermediates are trapped by a copper(I)-mediated substitution reaction to obtain Z-β-silylenamides in high yields.
#
Comment
The radical-chain process involves an addition of the (Me3Si)3Si radical to the ynamide to provide a Z-configured α-amino vinylic radical which reacts with the dialkylzinc reagent by homolytic substitution to afford a α-zincated β-silylenamide.
