“…β‐Enaminones 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , 5j , 5k , 5l required for the study (Fig. ) are prepared by the condensation of respective aryl/heteroaryl methyl ketones with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF‐DMA) refluxing in xylene according to the general protocol standardized in our laboratory . All the new as well as literature described β‐enaminones 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , 5j , 5k , 5l are fully characterized by 1 H, 13 C NMR, and mass spectral analysis.…”
