Enaminones has been prepared and submitted to conjugate reduction with
LAH and the system Al2O3/R(2)NH to give beta-aminoketones. The latter
tandem amination system has also been applied in the Mannich reaction
, improving the synthesis of several new diaryl beta-aminoketones. Bes
ides, the sequential use of DMFDMA and LAH-CuI on deoxybenzoins furnis
hes a new route for the synthesis of enones.
