Abstract

Gone fishing: When propiophenone and related ethyl ketones are treated with morpholine in the presence of K3PO4, chlorobenzene, and [Ni(cod)2]/PMe3 catalyst, a carbon-nitrogen bond is formed selectively at the β position (see scheme; cod=cycloocta-1,5-diene). Secondary amines were employed as substrates to give the corresponding β- enaminones.
