alpha'- And gamma-dianions of acyclic beta-(monoalkylamino)-alpha,beta
-unsaturated ketones can attack the double bond of nitroalkenes afford
ing gamma'- and epsilon-nitro-beta-enaminoketones in good to high yiel
ds. In contrast to the corresponding 1,3-dicarbonyl dianions, cyclic p
roducts from intramolecular Henry reactions are never observed. Quench
ing the reaction with sulphuric acid epsilon-nitro-beta-enaminoketones
are converted in low yields into dihydropyrroles.
