Abstract
Stick or twist: By introducing steric hindrance at the nitrogen atom, stable linear amides bearing an electron-withdrawing α-substituent (Z = Ar, PhSO(2), P(O)(OR)(2), CN, or CO(2)R) can be induced to undergo solvolysis and substitution reactions through an elimination-addition mechanism (see picture). Key to this process is a low barrier to rotation around the amide bond and the α-substituent Z.Entities:
