The reactions of gamma-silylated alpha,beta-unsaturated esters 3a-e an
d 6 with NsONHCO(2)Et and CaO, produce beta,gamma-unsaturated N-(ethox
ycarbonyl) alpha-amino esters 4a-e and 8, isolated in 38-66 % yield, t
hrough addition of (ethoxycarbonyl)aminic function on the double bond
and silyl group elimination. The reactivity increases in presence of a
lpha-substituents. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
