Abstract

Abstract Amines undergo smooth nucleophilic addition to α, β-unsaturated compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of samarium (III) triflate at ambient temperature to produce the corresponding β-amino compounds in excellent yields. This method is simple, convenient, and works efficiently under mild conditions.
