Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Amino Ketones via a Mannich Reaction Catalyzed by Cellulose Sulfuric Acid as a Biodegradable, Efficient, and Recyclable …
Abstract The efficient use of cellulose sulfuric acid as a heterogeneous catalyst promotes three-component, one-pot Mannich reaction of various ketones, aromatic aldehydes, and aromatic amines in ethanol to make the corresponding β-amino ketones with high stereoselectivity in favor of the anti-isomer. This protocol has several advantages such as good yield, mild reaction conditions, no environmental hazards, and simple workup ...
