In the first step of my thesis enaminone 27 was synthesised from 4-chloroacetophenone (26) and DMFDMA. In the next stage the produced enaminone was reacted with a primary and a secondary amine. N-Methylaniline (30) was used as the secondary amine and allylamine (28) as the primary amine. The latter reaction between allylamine (28) and enamine 27 was carried under different reaction conditions. Results were then compared in the overall efficiency of the synthesis and regeneration of the starting reagent 27. Enaminone coupled to the allylamine (29) was then used in the last two separate reactions. In the first reaction, compound 29 was protected at the nitrogen atom with a t-butoxycarbonyl group, and in the second reaction I tried to introduce a methyl group at the nitrogen atom via Eschweiler-Clarke method, but instead of the methylated product 33, a symmetrical 1,4-dihydropyridine 34 was obtained. All compounds, except for the enaminone 27 synthesised in the first step, have not yet been discussed in the literature, so they were characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopy, their melting points and elemental compositions were also measured.
