Y. Nakamura et Cg. Shin, REACTIONS OF (Z)-ALPHA,BETA-DIDEHYDROAMINO ALDEHYDES WITH ETHYL DIETHYLPHOSPHONOACETATE, ETHYL-ACETATE, AND TRIMETHYLSILYL CYANIDE, Synthesis, (6), 1994, pp. 552-554
In order to explore the reactivity of (Z)-alpha,beta-didehydroamino al
dehydes, Wittig-Horner reaction with ethyl diethylphosphonoacetate, al
dol condensation with ethyl acetate, and cyanohydrin reaction with tri
methylsilyl cyanide were tried successfully to give the corresponding
dienocarboxylate, enolcarboxylate, and cyanohydrin derivatives, respec
tively, in good yields.
