Silver-catalyzed carbon–phosphorus functionalization of N-(p-methoxyaryl)propiolamides coupled with dearomatization: access to phosphorylated aza-decenones

Silver-catalyzed cascade difunctionalization of N-(p-methoxyaryl)propiolamides coupled with dearomatization was achieved and used to regiospecifically construct a variety of phosphorylated aza-decenones bearing adjacent quaternary stereocenters under mild conditions in moderate to excellent yields.
