Abstract

Applying our mechanistic hypothesis about the real catalytic species in the benzoin condensation catalysed by thiazolium salts plus bases, we have succeed in the extension to aldehydes different from formaldehyde of a previously described method of synthesis of α- aminoketones combining Mannich reaction and benzoin condensation.
