An efficient and practical method is developed for the diversity-oriented synthesis of β-enaminones via three-component reaction between substituted β-nitrostyrenes, β-dicarbonyl compounds and amines for the generation of a wide range of structurally interesting and pharmacologically significant compounds under mild conditions. The diversity-oriented synthesis of β-enaminones via three-component reaction between substituted β-nitrostyrenes, β-dicarbonyl compounds and amines is developed.
