Stereoselective three-component cascade synthesis of α-substituted 2,4-dienamides from gem-difluorochloro ethanes

Herein, we describe a new transition metal-free Claisen rearrangement for the synthesis of α-substituted 2,4-dienamide. This one-pot, stereoselective three-component cascade reaction affords various polysubstituted 2,4-dienamides in good yields.
