title: Synthesis of vinylogous carbamates by rhodium(II)-catalyzed olefination of tertiary formamides with a silylated diazoester.
abstract: Treatment of tertiary formamides with a silylated diazoester in the presence of a rhodium(II) catalyst leads to the formation of 3-amino-2-silyloxyacrylates in good yield. No olefination is observed if a nonsilylated diazo compound is employed. [reaction: see text]
