Simple and direct nucleophilic addition of secondary amines to 1,2,3-triazine
under mild reaction conditions cleanly provides β-aminoenals in good yields. The
reaction proceeds by amine nucleophilic addition to C4 of the 1,2,3-triazine, in
situ loss of N2, and subsequent imine hydrolysis.

Ceric ammonium nitrate catalyzes the reaction between aromatic or aliphatic
primary amines and a variety of β-dicarbonyl compounds, including β-ketoesters,
β-ketothioesters and β-diketones to give β-enaminones in good to excellent
yields at room temperature in short reaction times.

Mechanochemical grinding in the presence of KHSO4 and SiO2
enables a facile amination of solid 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with ammonium salts
or amines in solid state to yield the corresponding β-imino derivatives in high
yields. The method has the advantage of simple manipulation and mild conditions.

The coupling of acid chlorides with terminal alkynes using one equivalent of
triethylamine under Sonogashira conditions followed by subsequent addition
of amines or amidinium salts to the intermediate alkynones allows a
straightforward access to enaminones and pyrimidines under mild conditions
and in excellent yields.

An efficient and modular strategy based on a four-component sequential
reaction provides enaminones under mild conditions without a catalyst
in one pot. Furthermore, the products could be transformed into thiadiazoles.

A BF3·OEt2-catalyzed cyclization of 1-iodoalkyne and
α-keto acid followed by an amine-mediated ring-opening enable a metal-free
direct synthesis of β-ketoenamines in one pot. The reaction tolerates transition
metal-sensitive functional groups.

The trisulfur radical anion triggers a C(sp2)-H amination of
α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives with simple amines to provide a variety of
synthetically valuable N-unprotected and secondary β-enaminones with
absolute Z selectivity and tertiary β-enaminones with E
selectivity.

A Au(I)-catalyzed tandem amide addition and Meyer-Schuster rearrangement enables
the synthesis of enamides from primary amides and propargyl aldehydes. Enamide
stereochemistry was controlled simply by changing solvents and adding a
catalytic amount of acid.

A copper-catalyzed four-component formal oxyaminalization of alkenes with
Togni's reagent and amines in the presence of molecular oxygen as both the oxidant and oxygen
source efficiently provides a range of structurally diverse
α-oxoketene aminals. This simple procedure offers excellent functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope,
and mild conditions.
