Abstract

The reaction of ‘push-pull’ enamines having a methyl group at the α-position with imines of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate was investigated. Structural sensitivity of the reaction was found and discussed. As a result, a set of β-dicarbonyl compounds bearing a protected amino acid moiety was obtained.
