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.

Analogues of amphibian alkaloids: total synthesis of (5R,8S,8aS)-(-)-8-methyl-5-pentyloctahydroindolizine (8-epi-indolizidine 209B) and [(1S,4R,9aS)-(-)-4-pentyloctahydro-2H-quinolizin-1-yl]methanol

TL;DR: The methodology reported in this article was successfully applied to the enantioselective synthesis of the title compounds and paves the way for the total synthesis of a range of cis-5,8-disubstituted indolizidines and cis-1,4- Disubst ituted quinolizin-1-yl, as well as the naturally occurring trans-disubsided alkaloids.

Two versatile routes towards Cerpegin and analogues: applications of a one pot reaction to new analogues of Cerpegin

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and efficient route to the natural alkaloid Cerpegin and new analogues is described, where methylfuranones are condensed with dimethylformamide diethylacetal (DMFDEA) to yield enaminolactone esters.

Novel quinoline bearing sulfonamide derivatives and their cytotoxic activity against MCF7 cell line

TL;DR: The present work reports the synthesis of novel 5-Oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline and 2,5-dioxo-3,4,5, 6, 7, 8-Tetrahytochemical derivatives containing enaminone system and bearing a sulfonamide moiety, designed in compliance with the general pharmacophoric requirements for carbonic anhydrase inhibiting anticancer drugs.

Preparation and reductive transformations of vinylogous sulfonamides (β-sulfonyl enamines), and application to the synthesis of indolizidines

TL;DR: These beta-sulfonyl enamines are sufficiently nucleophilic for cyclisation with internal electrophiles to give sulfone-substituted indolizines, potentially useful scaffolds for alkaloid synthesis.

Enaminone-Derived Pyrazoles with Antimicrobial Activity

TL;DR: A series of pyrazoles derived from the substituted enaminones were synthesized and were evaluated for antimicrobial activity and compound (P11) was found to have highest activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
