Abstract
In the presence of triethylamine, the addition reaction of substituted α-amino acid alkyl esters with dialkyl but-2-ynedioate afforded active β-enamino esters, which in turn reacted with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile to give tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives in moderate yields.
