Enaminones were efficiently prepared via modification for Gupton method, which depends on carrying out the latter procedure in one step reaction, avoiding the isolation of [3- (dimethylamino)-2-azaprop-2-en-1-ylidene] dimethylammonium chloride (Gold's reagent)(5) which is prepared in situ from cyanuric chloride (4) then it reacts successfully with ketone 1a- j to produce the enaminones 3a-j in suitable yields. The modified method overcomes the ...
