45. 2 in general because of the overall stability difference between the respective conjugate bases [as one referee kindly pointed out], sulfonyl-substituted ynamides [or enamides] are more reactive and less stable than simple amide or urethane-substituted ynamides [or enamide]. The nitrogen lone pair in the former is more delocalized into the alkyne [or alkene motif] and more into the carbonyl group in the latter. Likewise, but in a reverse sense, for iminium ion chemistry, sulfonyl-substituted iminium species are more stable and less reactive than straight N-acyl iminium ions because the nitrogen lone pair in the former is more involved in the π-donation to the carbocation.

55. Conjugation appears to be a key, as cyclohexenyl methyl ketone did not give i when reacted with ynamide 12. On the other hand, cyclohexenyl nitrile gave a completely different product pyrimidine iii, thereby suggesting a cyclotrimerization process. Regiochemistry of iii was assigned using NOE [see Supporting Information ].
