A CONVENIENT METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF α, β-UNSATURATED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS

Abstract
A variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones are conveniently synthesized from enaminoketones and organolithium compounds especially when the reaction is carried out in petroleum ether; this reaction provides a facile method for the synthesis of α,β,γ-trisubstituted 2-cyclopentenones in combination with the regioselective alkylation of enaminoketones.
