Copper-Catalyzed Ring-Opening of N -Chlorocyclopropylamides for Modular Access to γ -Functionalized Enamides

Enamides are privileged structural motifs in pharmaceuticals, natural products, and synthetic intermediates. However, general and modular methods for accessing highly functionalized allylic enamides remain limited. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed ring-opening functionalization of readily available N-chlorocyclop...
