A new method for synthesizing polyalkylated/arylated nicotinates is established using a condensation of enamino esters with enones in the presence of FeCl. This method facilitates the introduction of alkyl or aryl groups at any position on demand, which has not been achieved by other procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
