Enaminones: versatile intermediates for natural product synthesis*

30 Jun 1999-Pure and Applied Chemistry (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)-Vol. 71, Iss: 6, pp 979-988
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the chemistry of enaminones and related compounds containing the structural unit N-CaC-Z (Za COR, CO2R, CN, NO2, S O 2Ar, etc.).
Abstract: Efforts in our laboratories to devise a general approach to the synthesis of alkaloids focus on the versatile reactivity of enaminones and related compounds containing the structural unit N-CaC-Z (Za COR, CO2R, CN, NO2 ,S O 2Ar, etc.). This lecture presents an overview of our research with these useful building blocks. Themes to be elaborated include chemo- selectivity and diastereoselectivity in reactions of enaminones, and the challenge of controlling absolute stereochemistry.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of β-enaminoesters and βenaminones were obtained in about 90% yield by the reactions of βketoesters and 1,3-diketones with aliphatic and aromatic amines using 1.5% of the above cobalt(III) complexes as catalysts and these have been characterized by NMR, GC-MS and X-ray crystallography.

TL;DR: In this paper, the direct condensation of amines with β-ketoesters to produce functional enamine derivatives has been investigated with iron Lewis acid catalysts, and FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O shows good catalytic activity and makes possible the chemo-and stereoselective formations of (Z )-enamine derivatives from aliphatic and aromatic primary amines under mild conditions.
