Facile preparation of deoxybenzoins via a novel synthesis of enamines
Paventi,Hay
, p. 1617 - 1620 (1991)
N-Aryl(or alkyl)-N-benzylanilines and benzylideneaniline condense in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium t-butoxide to give enamines in good yields. Hydrolysis of the latter give deoxybenzoin with 100% conversion.
