Enamides are contained in many natural products such as salicylihalamide [1] and lobatamide,[2] and have recently been synthesized using transition-metal catalysts, as represented by a) the vinylation of amides,[3] b) the chelation-assisted coupling reaction of N-vinylamides with 1, 3-butadiene,[4] c) the addition of amides to alkynes,[5] d) the oxidative amidation of alkenes,[6] and e) the isomerization of N-allylamides.[7] Dienamides are also important building blocks for preparing several alkaloids by the Diels–Alder reaction.[8] However, there are still few examples of transition-metal-mediated or-catalyzed synthesis of dienamides.[9] In considering potential new methods for the synthesis of enamides and dienamides, we have focused our efforts on ruthenium-catalyzed regio-and stereoselective codimerization reactions. Many examples of transition-metal-catalyzed codimerization reactions of alkenes with alkynes have been reported.[10] We also have already developed and reported the reactions of [2+ 2] cycloaddition [11] and linear codimerization reactions [12] of alkenes with alkynes. In sharp contrast, a codimerization reaction of “different alkenes” is still quite difficult except for hydrovinylation [13] and a challenging subject in modern organic and organometallic chemistry.[14] Herein we report zero-valent ruthenium-catalyzed codimerization reaction of different alkenes, that is, a codimerization reaction of N-vinylamides with alkenes as well as a cooligomerization reaction of N-vinylamides, acrylates, and ethylene, which offer novel and atom-economical methods for the synthesis of enamides with high regio-and stereoselectivity in one step.[15, 16] As expected, the present catalyst system can be applied to the codimerization of N-vinylamides with alkynes, which enables the selective synthesis of dienamides.Treatment of N-methyl-N-vinylacetamide (1a, 1.1 mmol) with ethyl acrylate (2a, 1.0 mmol) in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ru (η6-cot)(η2-dmfm) 2](0.020 mmol; cot= 1, 3, 5-cyclooctatriene, dmfm= dimethyl fumarate) in N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA, 3.0 mL)[14b, 17] at 1608C for 3 h gave the linear codimer, ethyl 5-(N-methylacetylamino)-pent-4-enoate (3a), in 90% yield with 95% E selectivity [Eq.(1)].
