Abstract
The material presented in this review is separated into cases where the enamine nitrogen serves only to activate a position in a molecule to electrophilic attack or to protect a carbonyl group during certain transformations of the molecule, and is then removed, and others, where the enamine nitrogen constitutes part of the final structure: 1. Reactions not involving incorporation of the enamine nitrogen into the molecular skeleton of the final product 1.1. Alkylation 1.2. Acylation 1.3. Cyclocondensation 1.4. Introduction of hetero substituents 1.5. The use of the enamine function as protective group 1.6. Miscellaneous reactions 2. Synthetic sequences involving incorporation of the enamine nitrogen into the molecular skeleton of the final product.
