We report a chemoselective, phosphine-catalyzed semireduction of primary and secondary propiolamides. In the presence of stoichiometric pinacolborane and catalytic n-tributylphosphine, a variety of propiolamides were successfully converted to the corresponding acrylamides in excellent yield with (E)-stereoselectivity. The reaction condition is tolerant of various functional groups including alkene, alkyne, ketone, or ester. Deuterium labeling studies established that the hydride from activated pinacolborane is added to the α-carbon and the proton on the amide nitrogen is abstracted by the ?-carbon to furnish the (E)-acrylamides. DFT calculations revealed a clear energetic driving force for the (E)- over the (Z)-isomer. (Figure presented.).

Zirconium fluoride was utilized to promote efficiently iron-catalyzed aminocarbonylation between alkynes and amines without the use of extra ligands. In particular, this new system is applicable to a wide range of amine and alkyne substrates affording α,β-unsaturated amides in good to excellent yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal the activation model involving interactions of ZF4 with both iron catalyst and amine substrates.

A copper-catalyzed α-selective C–H trifluoromethylation of acrylamides with TMSCF3 is described. A wide range of arenes and heteroarenes at the β-position of acrylamides are compatible with the reaction, affording the corresponding (E)-trifluor
