Abstract

A highly efficient, metal-free, and selective access to trans-β,γ-unsaturated α-keto amides is described via peptidic coupling, involving easy to prepare trans-β,γ-unsaturated α-keto acids and commercially available amines.

Key words

β,γ-unsaturated α-keto amide - α-keto acid - amine - peptidic coupling - Michael acceptor

    In this paper, it was shown that ammonia is formed in situ by reaction between Mg3N2 and a protic solvent. It was noteworthy that generation of ammonia with MeOH gave only clean methyl α-keto ester in our case.
