We report an enantioconvergent approach for the functionalization of enamides at the β-carbon atom, which involves a chiral Brønsted acid induced tautomerization of 2-amidoallyl into 1-amidoallyl cations. These putative reactive intermediates were produced by ionization of racemic α-hydroxy enamides with a chiral Brønsted acid and captured with substituted indoles in a highly regio- and enantioselective manner.

An efficient deuteration method through the ex situ generation of D for the reductive deuteration of biologically significant α-substituted acrylic acids and enamide derivatives is reported. This method was successfully applied to the synthesis of deuterated analogs of marketed NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, and naproxen. Additionally, it facilitates late-stage deuteration of enamides and -vinylated drugs.

A novel regioselective manganese(III)-mediated radical cascade cyclization of N-propargyl enamides with various H-phosphine oxides, H-phosphinates and H-phosphonates was developed. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction is mainly composed of the selective addition of phosphonyl radical to C≡C bond and the intramolecular 6--trig cyclization of vinyl radical. Utilizing this protocol, we successfully synthesized a diverse range of 3-phosphorylpyridines in high efficiency with good functional group compatibility and simple operation.

An iron(III)-mediated nucleophilic cascade cyclization of -propiolyl enamides with various diselenides was developed, which provides an efficient way to construct seleno-heterocycles. A mechanism study shows that the cascade process involves the selective addition of diselenides to the C≡C bond generating a seleniranium ion, followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of enaminic carbon of tertiary enamide. Utilizing this protocol, a variety of 3-seleno-2-pyridones were successfully synthesized featuring good functional group compatibility and simple operation.

ConspectusControlling selectivity through manipulation of reaction intermediates remains one of the most enduring challenges in organic chemistry, providing novel solutions for selective C-C π-bond functionalization. This approach, guided by activation principles, provides an effective method for selective functional group installation, enabling direct synthesis of organic molecules that are inaccessible through conventional pathways. In particular, the selective functionalization of N-conjugated allenes and alkynes has emerged as a promising research focus, driven by advances in controlling reactive intermediates and activation strategies.
