C‐Alkylation of α‐acylamino ketones. A versatile synthesis of α‐alkyl α‐amino ketones

Abstract

C-Alkylation of some a-acylarnino ketones were achieved with alkyl halides by means of sodium ethoxide in ethanol. The present paper deals with the C-alkylation of N,N-diformylamino ketones and the difference in stability of the amide group.
