Synthesis in dry media coupled with microwave irradiation: Application to the preparation of enaminoketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)60678-0

β-diketones react with a variety of amines and aminoesters over clay K₁₀ or silica under microwave irradiation in open vessels to give within a few minutes, the corresponding enaminoketones with good yields. According to the reaction conditions acylamines may also result.
