title: Preparation of enamides via palladium-catalyzed amidation of enol tosylates.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A Pd-catalyzed coupling of enol tosylates and amides has been developed. Ligand screening revealed dipf as the most general ligand for this transformation. A variety of enol tosylates were coupled to an array of enamides in 58-97% yield.
