The preparation of a number of novel 2‐aryl‐3‐(dimethylamino)acroleins and their hydrolyses to 2‐arylmalondialdehydes is described. Reactions of the acroleins with amines are discussed as well as the conversion of the 2‐arylmalondialdehydes into 3‐chloro and 3‐alkoxyacroleins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
