Abstract

Abstract A variety of β-enamino ketones and esters have been synthesized in high to exellent yields by reacting β-dicarbonyl compounds with amines in the presence of a catalytic amount of indium tribromide. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature in a short reaction time under solvent-free conditions.
