The reaction of chloro, chloromethyl and chlorophenyl carbenoids with ketene alkylsilylacetals has been studied. Excellent yields of cyclopropanation were observed and the unstable chlorocyclopropanone acetals formed were thermallyrearranged in high yield into α-substituted α,β-ethylenic esters. This new method for the synthesis of unsaturated esters appeared complementary of the known-ones.
Disclosed herein is a convenient Ir-catalyzed amidation of esters to access α-amido esters. Initially prepared silylketeneacetals are directly employed, without separate purification, for subsequent amidation with an oxycarbonylnitrenoid precursor using the Cp*(LX)Ir(III) catalyst. The α-amidation was facile for both α-aryl and α-alkyl esters. Density functional theory studies revealed that the generation
