Intramolecular Thermal Oxidoreduction of N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-enaminoesters: Synthesis of N-(Acetonyl)-β-enaminoaldehydes and 2-Acetylpyrroles
Flow pyrolysis of the β-enaminoesters (1) provides the enaminoaldehydes (2), resulting from intramolecular oxidoreduction, and the acetylpyrroles (3); their relative yields depend on the temperature range.
