Reaction of N-propargylic β-enaminones with acetylene dicarboxylates: catalyst-free synthesis of 3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]hepta-2,4-dienes†
Abstract
3-Azabicyclo[4.1.0]hepta-2,4-dienes were efficiently synthesized in a reaction of N-propargylic β-enaminones with acetylenedicarboxylates under novel and exceptional catalyst- and base-free conditions in a single step.
