α(δ')-Michael Addition of Alkyl Amines to Dimethyl (E)-hex-2-en-4-ynedioate: Synthesis of α,β-Dehydroamino Acid Derivatives

The direct nucleophilic addition of alkyl amines to the α(δ')-carbon atom of dimethyl (E)-hex-2-en-4-ynedioate to generate α,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives is reported. Herein, we have studied the reactivity of various primary and secondary alkyl amines in the α-selective nucleophilic conj...
