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.

New syntheses of (±)-tashiromine and (±)-epitashiromine via enaminone intermediates.

TL;DR: The syntheses of the naturally occurring indolizidine alkaloid (±)-tashiromine and its unnatural epimer (±-epitashirOMine are demonstrated through the use of enaminone chemistry.

Synthesis of α-aryl enaminones through reactions of β-aryl enones with benzyl azide

TL;DR: The first metal free practical alternative to the preparation of acyclic α-aryl enaminones from commercially available or easily prepared starting materials is presented in this article. But the synthesis involves domino 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and 1,2-aryl migration.

A facile one-pot synthesis of acyclic β-enamino ketones, an important class of versatile synthetic intermediates

TL;DR: In this paper, a one-pot sequential process consisting of nucleophilic substitution of the lithiated acetylides with Weinreb amides followed by a Michael reaction of the extruded N -methoxy-N -methylamine after quenching with saturated NH 4 Cl, provided β-enamino ketones in high yield and in a single geometrical isomeric form.

π-Annulation reactions of 4-thiazolidinone enaminones in the synthesis of fused bi- and tri-cyclic compounds

TL;DR: The intramolecular vinylogous iminium ion 6-exo-trig cyclization was used to access fused bicyclic precursors for the π-annulation in order to obtain the novel tricyclic structures stereoselectively.
