Abstract
A convenient and gentle method for the synthesis of α-cyanoenamines
based on the Peterson olefination has been developed. For these
sensitive, highly functionalized olefins, the present method is
superior to the Horner-Emmons condensation, as manifested
by the higher yields and broader scope.
Key words
α-Cyanoenamines - Peterson olefination - Horner-Emmons
condensation

5 In our preliminary attempts on the
Peterson olefination, we have employed n -BuLi
and LDA for the reaction with the aldehyde 2a ,
but obtained poor yields of the desired α cyanoenamine 3a , e.g., none with n -BuLi
and only a 7% yield in the case of LDA.
