Redox Property of Enamines

Enamines are electron-rich compounds bearing intriguing redox properties. Herein, a series of secondary enamines condensed from primary amine and β-ketocarbonyls were synthesized and their electrochemical oxidation properties were systematically studied by cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, theoretical calculation of oxidation potentials of enamines, particularly those catalytic intermediates, was also conducted to further broaden the scope...
