title: Direct C-arylation of beta-enamino esters and ketones with arynes.
abstract: An efficient, mild, and general method for the C-arylation of beta-enamino esters and ketones with arynes has been developed. This methodology provides a facile and direct access to a variety of substituted aromatic beta-enamino compounds in moderate to excellent yield. [reaction: see text]
