  ABSTRACT: 3-(Dimethylamino)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-ones (formylated acetophenones) 1 reacted with aliphatic diamines in water assisted by KHSO4 to give bis-enaminones 2a-h in good yields. Compound 1 also reacted with o-phenylenediamine under similar conditions to produce bis-enaminones 3 instead of benzodiazepines 4 in excellent yields.
