“…Very soon, the scope of the reaction was extended to the use of cinnamic, − phenylacetylene, − and peptidic , acids, while primary ,− and peptidic amines , also participate, although giving slightly lower yields. Substituted benzyldehydes, , aromatic dialdehydes, furfural, acetaldehyde, , and cinnamaldehyde , readily react as carbonyl components. On the other hand, ketones are restricted to be cyclic ,− or electron-deficient α-halo ketones, , α-acyl(thi)oxy propanones, ,,, and biacetyl …”
