Recent developments in the chemistry of enaminones

Diorganotin(IV) complexes with 2-furancarboxylic acid hydrazone derivative of benzoylacetone: Synthesis, X-ray structure, antibacterial activity, DNA cleavage and molecular docking

“…The derived Schiff bases have keto-enol tautomerism with strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds (NH…O or N…HO). They are of biological interest, play as synthetic intermediates in organic reactions and act as sensor materials [4][5][6]. These compounds can also be used as coordination ligands for transition and non-transition metals; however, less attention has been paid to this type of systems.…”

Investigation of contrasting hydrogen bonding pattern of 3-(phenylamino)-cyclohexen-1-one with solvents in the ground and excited states

“…Welton and co-workers [56] have reported that the selectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction can be enhanced through the hydrogen bonding between the reactants and the media. It is well known [18] that the b-enaminones can react with carbon, nitrogen, halogen and sulfur containing electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents and also take part in photochemical reactions. It has been reported [57] by Cramer et al that the reactivity of an organic molecule depends on the medium.…”

“…Molecules of this type have attracted considerable attention of the scientific community due to their immense applicability in synthetic organic chemistry [18][19][20][21]. The synthetic utility of b-enaminones as precursor of many bioactive natural products, including, dopamine auto-receptor agonists, anticonvulsants and one part of the side chain of an anti-cancer drug, Taxol have been reported [18,20]. These molecules can react with carbon, nitrogen, halogen and sulfur containing electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents (for reviews see Ref.…”

“…These molecules can react with carbon, nitrogen, halogen and sulfur containing electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents (for reviews see Ref. [18]). Some photochemical reactions by these molecules have also been reported in literature [18].…”

“…[18]). Some photochemical reactions by these molecules have also been reported in literature [18]. As both the structure and properties of an organic molecule may be susceptible to the nature of the media, studying the effects of solvents on benaminones could be an interesting topic of research.…”
