110. The role of molecular sieves is less determinant related to conditions developed for aliphatic aldehydes (ref 17). Nevertheless, its presence increased significantly the yield of α-ketoamides, probably by accelerating the β-elimination step. After filtration, the α-ketoamides instead of α-iminoamides were the product that we detected by TLC.
111. Addition of isocyanides to the boron trifluoride complex of nitrones has been reported to afford α-ketoamides in low yields (10?15%); see: Zeeh, B. Synthesis 1969, 37. We thank one of the reviewers for pointing out this important reference. Under our reaction conditions, the main side reaction was the subsequent Passerini reaction of the resulting α-ketoamides.
