Popis: The aim of this work is the identification of mild reaction conditions for the Blaise-type transformation of brominated β-keto esters with nitriles to generate enamino-substituted keto esters. The best results were obtained when a combination of indium metal (0.7 equiv.) with indium trichloride (1.6 equiv.) were applied at 60 °C for 20 to 72 hours, and these conditions could be applied to a broad range of nitriles and a significant number of different β-keto esters. The transformation of aliphatic nitriles proved to be difficult and gave only moderate yields. However, aromatic nitriles gave good yields in many cases. The applicability range of β-keto esters is acceptable while some electron-deficient aryl-substituents on the keto ester were challenging substrates. Nevertheless, we were able to expand the scope of the Blaise-type reaction towards brominated β-keto esters significantly.
