The palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of imines, acid chlorides, and hexabutyldistannane is described. This results in the synthesis of various α-amidostannanes in good yields, without the use of strong nucleophilic organometallic reagents. The reaction is believed to proceed via a Stille-type cross coupling of an in situ-generated N-acyl iminium salt with Bu3SnSnBu3 and reaches completion within 1 h at ambient temperature using simple, unligated Pd2dba3 as a catalyst. Combining the formation of α-amidostannanes with lithiation and carboxylation allows the overall synthesis of amino acid derivatives in two steps from imines, acid chlorides, and CO2.
