, (2008/06/13)
A process for the preparation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds of the formula I STR1 where R1 is hydrogen, C1 -C10 -alkyl, C1 -C10 -alkoxy or aryloxy, R2 is aryl which is unsubstituted or substituted by C1 -C4 -alkyl, C1 -C4 -alkoxy, trifluoromethyl and/or halogen and R3 is tetrahydrofuranyl or aryl which is substituted by C1 -C4 -alkyl, C1 -C4 -alkoxy, trifluoromethyl and/or halogen, which comprises reacting 3-amino-2-propen-1-ones of the formula II STR2 where R1 and R2 have the abovementioned meanings, and R4 and R5 are, independently of one another, hydrogen, C1 -C10 -alkyl or aryl, with a magnesium halide of the formula III where Y is halogen, at from -20° to 100° C., and novel α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and novel 3-amino-2-propen-1-ones are described.
