Taking advantage of the coordinating activation strategy, we have developed the cascade oxidative coupling/cyclization of α-C­(sp3)–H bonds of amines with enamines or β-keto esters for the synthesis of three types of five-membered heterocycles. α-Amino acids as the substrate lead to 3-amino 1,3-dihy...
