Abstract

A straightforward synthesis of conjugated β-enaminonitriles from ketones and β- aminocrotononitrile mediated by TiCl4 is described. The reaction of these novel dienamines with a Vilsmeier-type reagent provides a mild and highly regioselective route for the preparation of nicotinonitriles.
