Abstract

Whereas enamines 1a,b react with naphthoquinone (2) to yield the naphthofuranals 5a,b, enamine ester 1c react with 2 to yield benzoindole derivatives 7. Enamine 1b reacts with hydrazonoyl halides 8 to yield 3,4-disubstituted pyrazoles 12. On the other hand, the enaminal 1a failed to react with 8, while enamine ester 1c afforded hydrazone 16 on treatment with 8. The enamino ester 1b afforded triethyl 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates on refluxing in acetic acid.
