Description 291-302
Acylation of methyl 3-aminocrotonate <strong>1a</strong> in benzene with a variety of aliphatic and aromatic acid chlorides including α, β-unsaturated acid chloride in the presence of an added organic base, (either pyridine or triethylamine) is reported. The preferred N, C-site selectivity in these reactions has been compared with the terminal selectivity of the products obtained previously on acylation of methyl 3-aminocrotononitrile <strong>1b</strong>. A strong preference either for N- or C- selectivity in N, C-acylation has been observed for both <strong>1a</strong> and <strong>1b</strong> based on the choice of acid chlorides and added organic base. Interestingly, irrespective of the enamine <strong>1a</strong> or <strong>1b</strong>, acylation with α, β-unsaturated acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine afforded 3,4-dihydropyridin-(2<em>H</em>)-one <em>via</em> [3.3] sigmatropic rearrangement of the corresponding intermediary N(E)-enamide. Accrued results show methyl 3-aminocrotonate to be a better precursor for preparation of enamides (N-acylated products) whereas 3-aminocrotononitrile is found to be a preferred choice for preparation of enaminones (C-acylated products). An attempt is made to offer a preliminary theoretical interpretation for observed site selectivity.
