product of reactions with enamines...?
« on: July 31, 2008, 05:08:53 AM »
I have two reactions I can't figure out. Got the starting materials and what they're reacted with, but unsure of how to determine the products. Can anyone help please?

The first starting material is an enamine (pyrrolidine with cyclohex-1-ene attached) and is reacted with CH3COCl.

The next one is an enamine again (it has the pyrrolidine attached to C2 of CH3C=CH2.

Also what is significant about those? Advice on how to work it out rather than just an answer would be great:)

Thanks!

Think enolate chemistry.  http://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtTxtJml/aldket2.htm#rx5.

Preparing an enamine is an alternative way to prepare a latent enolate.
