Am. Almerico et al., REACTION OF AMINO-SUBSTITUTED HETEROCYCLES WITH ONE HETEROATOM IN A 5-MEMBERED RING AS ENAMINES - A REVISION, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 32(3), 1995, pp. 985-989
2-Aminoheterocycles (pyrrole, furan, and thiophene) exist in solution
in the amino form of type 1 and 5. They undergo protonation at the exo
cyclic nitrogen in DMSO/TFA and protonation at position 5 in TFA. Howe
ver when the electrophile is different from proton the 2-aminoheterocy
les do not react as enamines (C-acylation is never observed), but thei
r behavior is typical of aromatic amines, giving rise to N-acylated pr
oduct of type 9.
