L-En-4-ynamines

Analogously to ynamines and o, /3-acetylenic ketones, 4-aminobut-3-yn-2-ones react with 1,3-dipoles (68HCA443 73HCA2427 92KGS867). The reaction of 4-dimethylaminobut-3-yn-2-one with diphenylketene follows a route of [2-1-21-cycloaddition (30°C, THF, 1 h) to give 2-acetyl-3-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-cyclobut-2-en-l-one (377) in 15% yield. With ethyl azidoformate (30°C, THF, 3 h), the tiiazole 378 is formed in 82% yield, whereas with phenyl isocyanate, the quinoline 379 is the product (by a [2- -4] scheme) in 70% yield (68HCA443).
