Question

Explanation of this reaction: Alkylation of Enamine with reagent being dioxane/reflux in aqueous HCl? (picture)

Could you explain why there is no reaction? Thank you!

Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) of the following reaction. 1. dioxane / reflux 2. aqueous HCI You do not have to consider stereochemistry. . You do not have to consider stereochemistry . You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. Do not include the amine from which the enamine was derived. . If no reaction occurs, draw the starting material Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the dropdown menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple products using the + sign from the dropdown menu.

Explanation / Answer

For the alkylation of enamine we need to primary or secondary amine, because we need to make the negative charge on the nitrogen, means making nucleophile for attack on the electrophile. But in the given reactant there is tertiary amine, so there is no acidic –H on nitrogen.
