Straight-chain ω-amino-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds: versatile synthons for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles via organocatalytic reactions

In this review, we elaborate and discuss the recent applications of straight-chain amino-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds as versatile synthons in organocatalytic reactions for the creation of five- and six-membered saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
