description

(E)- and (Z)-Enols of β-Ketocarboxylic Acid Amides Reaction of dimesitoyldiazomethane (1) with ammonia (3a), primary and secondary amines (3b – o and 3p – v, respectively) leads to the completely enolized amides 4a – v. Besides the chelated Z configuration the unusual E isomer exists in the most cases, too. The Z/E distribution in the equilibrium depends on the steric and electronic effects present in the amide group CONR2R3 and on the solvent.
