The reaction pyridinium N-methylazinium salts and their benzo analogs - quinolinium, isoquinolinium, and acridinium ions - with enamines was investigated. Acridanyl-substituted enamines, their iminium salts, and the corresponding ketones were obtained by reaction of the N-methylacridinium salts with the enamines in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature. The quinolinium and isoquinolinium salts have lower activities; the N-methylpyridinium cation does not react at all under the indicated conditions.
