Preparation of highly substituted (β-acylamino)acrylates via iron-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of N-vinylacetamides with carbazates†
Abstract
An efficient iron(II)-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation reaction between N-vinylacetamides and carbazates is reported. The corresponding useful highly substituted (β-acylamino)acrylates could be obtained in reasonable to good yields and stereoselectivity under mild reaction conditions.
