title: Palladium-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of methyleneaziridines with carboxylic acids: synthesis of alpha-amidoketones.
abstract: In the presence of palladium catalysts, the reaction of methyleneaziridines 1 with carboxylic acids 2proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding alpha-amidoketones 3 in good to high yields.
