Synthesis of ketene N,N-acetals by copper-catalyzed double-amidation of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes.
An efficient procedure for the preparation of ketene N,N-acetals by copper-catalyzed double amidation of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes is reported. The reaction was found to be general, and ketene aminals could be obtained in good yields when potassium phosphate in toluene was used at 80 degrees C. The reaction was found to proceed through a regioselective monocoupling reaction followed by dehydrobromination and hydroamidation.
