Enamides, unlike enamines, have remained relatively obscure in synthesis.[1, 2] The limited use of enamides could be due in part to synthetic inaccessibility; however, recent developments in copper-and palladium-catalyzed N alkenylation [3, 4] should provoke a strong interest in the development of synthetic methods based on the use of enamides as versatile building blocks. Among notable studies,[5] there have been reports of both normal-electron-demand Diels–Alder cycloadditions [6] and inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels–Alder cycloadditions [7] of enamides. We reported the epoxidation of chiral enamides in the synthesis of chiral α-hydroxyhemiaminals (1! 2 in Scheme 1).[8, 9] The high level of diastereoselectivity in this epoxidation was surprising and led us to speculate that enamides 1 could favor the conformation shown in A,[8, 9] which provides an excellent π-facial bias for the observed stereochemical outcome.
