A new alkylation method of enaminones (1-aryl-3-(isopropylamino)-2-buten-1-ones) via addition of electrophiles to dianions of β-(isopropylamino)-α, β-enones, generated by treatment with 2.5 equivalents of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinolithium, is reported. The reaction works well with alkyl halides and aldehydes while poor yields are obtained from ketones.
