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 paper, a concised review of methods for the synthesis of enamino esters is presented, focusing on the importance of these compounds as intermediates in organic syn thesis.
Abstract: Owing to the wide range applications of �-enamino esters (enamines of �-dicarbonyl compounds) in pharmaceuticals and as building blocks for the synt hesis of a variety of heterocyclic compounds, �-amino esters, �-amino acids, � -amino alcohols, peptides and alkaloids a number of methods have been developed so far for the synthesis of these compounds. Due to the importance of these compounds as intermediates in organic syn thesis, a concised review is presented.

TL;DR: Copper(I) bromide catalyzes the reaction and provides enamino esters and enaminones chemo- and diastereoselectively in less time than Rh2(OAc)4 or Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 catalysts.
Abstract: The coupling of thioamides and donor/acceptor-substituted diazocarbonyl compounds is reported for the first time. The present report provides a mild, catalytic method that couples thioamides and donor/acceptor-substituted diazocarbonyl compounds to form enamino esters and enaminones. Unlike traditional methods for the synthesis of enamino esters and enaminones from thioamides, both N-alkyl thioamides and thiocarbamates are suitable substrates in this coupling reaction. Copper(I) bromide catalyzes the reaction and provides enamino esters and enaminones chemo- and diastereoselectively in less time than Rh2(OAc)4 or Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 catalysts.

TL;DR: The use of readily available β-hydroxylaminoaldehydes expands the utility of the previously reported method to prepare 2,3-dihydropyridin-4(1H)-ones from β-amino acids as the source of diversity and chirality.
Abstract: The synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-1,2-oxazepin-5(2H)-ones and 2,3-dihydropyridin-4(1H)-ones from β-substituted β-hydroxyaminoaldehydes is reported. The β-hydroxyaminoaldehydes were prepared by enantioselective organocatalytic 1,4-addition of N-tert-butyl (tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxycarbamate to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (MacMillan protocol). Alkyne addition to the aldehydes followed by alcohol oxidation furnished N-Boc O-TBS-protected β-aminoynones. Removal of the TBS protecting group initiated a 7-endo-dig cyclization to yield previously unknown 3,4-dihydro-1,2-oxazepin-5(2H)-ones. Reductive cleavage of the N–O bond of the oxazepinones and Boc-deprotection provided 2-substituted 2,3-dihydropyridin-4(1H)-ones via 6-endo-trig cyclization. 2,3-Dihydropyridin-4(1H)-ones are versatile intermediates that have been used for the synthesis of many alkaloids. The new protocol allows the synthesis of 3-dihydropyridin-4(1H)-ones carrying an array of substituents at C2 that cannot be prepared from commercial β-amino acids...
