Abstract

Abstract Molecular iodine has been found to be an efficient and ecofriendly catalyst for the synthesis of β-enaminones from dimedone and amines at room temperature in the presence of acetonitrile within 60 min. The experimental procedure is simple, includes shorter reaction times, and results in excellent yields of the products.
