Treatment of easily available ketone-derived cyanoamides with NaOtBu leads to enamides in a simple, scalable, and inexpensive one-step operation in good yield. Enamides not stabilized by conjugation or by inclusion in a ring can also be prepared. An E1cB mechanism consistent with all results and observations, is proposed. The Z geometry of the product enamide is highly favoured, and the regioselectivity can be directed by ones choice of protecting group.
