Highly regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of β-substituted α-tributylstannyl enamides

The regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of β-substituted α-stannyl enamides is reported starting from internal ynamides. The synthesis of new ynamides as well as bis-ynamides is also described. Finally first examples of successful cross-coupling to afford α/β-disubstituted enamides are also reported.
