Mef. Braibante et al., SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF BETA-AMINO ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED KETONESAND ESTERS USING K-10 MONTMORILLONITE, Synthesis, (9), 1994, pp. 898-900
A series of beta-amino alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones 3a-f and esters
3g-l may be conveniently prepared by dispersing ammonia (NH4OH solutio
n), primary amines and 1,3-diketones or 1,3-keto esters on K-10 montmo
rillonite without solvent. This procedure was also applicable to the r
eactions of 3a and 3g with phenyl isocyanate and phenyl isothiocyanate
which afford selectively the C-adducts 4a-d.
