Enaminone Intermediate in the One-Methylene Incorporated Dimerization Reaction of Ketone Enolate. Cross Reaction to Unsymmetrical 1,5-Diketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1775

An enaminone has been isolated as an intermediate from the one-methylene incorporated dimerization reaction of ketone enolate using N-phenyl-N-methylformamide.The reaction of the enaminone with the other ketone enolates gives unsymmetrical 1,5-diketones i
