ABSTRACT. Three compounds, phenyl propenone, p-tolyl and bromo phenylpropenone derivatives 3a-c were produced in good yields via condensation of acetophenone with dimethyl formamide acetal (DMFDMA) presence xylene as a solvent. Compounds 5a-f by coupling the enaminones diazonium chloride 4a or 4b. reacted acetone to create novel disperse dyes 9a-f. Mass spectra, (FT-IR), elemental analysis, 1H-...

Six- and seven-membered cyclic enaminones can be prepared using common, environmentally benign reagents. Amino acids are used as synthetic precursors allowing diversification and the incorporation of chirality. The key reaction in this multistep process involves deprotection of Boc-amino ynones and subsequent treatment with methanolic K(2)CO(3) to induce cyclization. A β-amino elimination side ...
