Abstract

A simple and efficient procedure is presented for Aza-Michael additions of various amines with conjugate alkenes bearing electron withdrawing group catalyzed by polystyrene- supported aluminum chloride (Ps-AlCl3) without the use of any solvents. The catalyst shows high catalytic activity for both aromatic amines and aliphatic amines. Chemoselective additions of the two types of amines with conjugate alkenes are achieved. Regioselective ...
