Abstract

Abstract Aliphatic and aromatic amines undergo smooth nucleophilic addition to α, β- unsaturated compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of silica-supported aluminum chloride at 60° C and under solvent-free conditions to produce the corresponding β-amino compounds in excellent yields. This method is simple and convenient and works efficiently under mild conditions. This catalyst can used again without losing its activity three times.
