Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of CH2 C (R) COOMe (R= H or CH2OH) with PhI in the presence of NEt3 under O2 induces the oxidative dealkylation of NEt3, affording either methyl 3-diethylaminopropionate (3) or methyl (Z)-2-benzyl-3-(N, N′-diethylamino) propenate (6), in case of R= H or R= CH2OH, respectively.
