Direct condensation of β‐arylketones with acetamide afforded both Z and E  enamides. The Z ‐configured substrates underwent hydrogenation with excellent enantioselectivity by using the Rh/tangphos catalytic system (see scheme; tangphos=1,1′‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐[2,2′]‐diphospholanyl). The product β‐arylisopropylamines are important precursors to several drugs.
