• substituents at the C-2 position. As a way of expanding the scope of this methodology, we resorted to the α-C-acylation of β-enamino amides, a reliable reaction, the utility of which we have already demonstrated in other contexts [62][63].

• condensation, which comprises the C-acylation of the α-position of ketones in the form of their metal enolates, enamines or silyl ethers, with or without a catalyst. To appear as an acylating agent one of the following compounds could be required: acyl halides and acid esters, including formates and oxalates

• potassium enolates are more reactive than the lithium enolate and compete too well with N-acylation. We surmised that effective cyclisation onto the acylpyridinium species, avoiding the N- vs. C-acylation problem, might be made possible by decreasing the reactivity of the enolate still further, transforming
