Abstract

Abstract: A generally applicable synthesis of 1-aryl-2-(dimethylaminomethyl) prop-2-en-1- ones 2 involving reaction of aromatic methyl ketones 1 with paraformaldehyde and dimethylamine in dimethylformamide is described. The majority of experiments were conducted with these reagents, but the process can also be performed using dimethyl (methylene) ammonium chloride. Key words: 1-arylprop-2-en-1-ones, Mannich Reaction, ...
