Abstract

Several α,β-unsaturated heterocompounds bearing one or several hydrogen atom(s) on the heteroatom exhibit interesting properties. For instance, base-induced keto–enol or imine–enamine tautomerism is a consequence of the high acidity of the hydrogen linked to the heteroatom. 1 Recently, evidence for a similar increase of acidity between saturated and α,β-unsaturated phosphines and arsines was provided by FT-ICR mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations. 2 ...
