CuI/N,N-dimethylglycine-catalyzed coupling of vinyl halides with amides or carbamates

The Cul-catalyzed coupling reaction of vinyl halides with amides or carbamates proceeds well at room temperature to 80 degreesC in dioxane to give enamides using NN-dimethylglycine as the promoter and Cs2CO3 as the base. The geometry of the C-C double bond is retained during the reaction course.
