In this work, the synthesis of enaminones from selected acyl-substituted (hetero)aromatic compounds and their analogs is presented. The focus was on evaluating the efficiency of selected synthetic routes and preparing enaminones intended for subsequent photoredox-catalyzed transformations. The syntheses used N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMFDMA), which reacted with selected starting substrates via an active methylene or methyl group.
