Abstract

A systematic investigation on the synthesis of β-enaminones containing diverse N,N-disubstitution via the transamination of N,N-dimethyl amino functionalized β-enaminones and secondary amines has been conducted by employing biomass available green solvent ethyl lactate as reaction medium. A class of β-enaminones containing different N,N-disubstitutions have been smoothly synthesized under the sustainable conditions without using any catalyst.
