Facile synthesis of α-alkoxyl amides via scandium-catalyzed oxidative reaction between ynamides and alcohols.

ABSTRACT: A novel and efficient scandium-catalyzed oxidative reaction between ynamides and alcohols for the facile synthesis of various α-alkoxyl amides is reported in this paper. The reaction avoids the need for the use of α-diazo carbonyls which are unstable and may cause some safety concerns. Instead, by using alkynes as the starting materials, this protocol features readily available substrates, compatibility with a broad range of functional groups, simple procedure, mild reaction conditions, and high chemoselectivity.
