Herein, we report the metal free and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IMHB) directed (Z)-selective synthesis of amide substituted β-aminoenones. Systematically, we confirm the role of dual IMHB (CO⋯H–N) on the Z-direction using single-crystal X-ray analysis and 1D and 2D NMR studies. High stereoselectivity, atom efficiency, excellent yields and high purity are achieved by mere filtration. We avoid column purification and the formed by-product in the process is environmentally friendly.
