N,N-Disubstituted carboxamides containing α-hydrogen atoms undergo self-condensation reaction simply on treatment with Grignard reagents or n-BuLi in THF at room temp.The reaction is considerably influenced by steric hindrance at the α-carbon and the condensing agent utilized.A possible Claisen-type mechanism is also reported.
