Abstract

At room temperature, zirconium oxychloride efficiently catalyzes the direct Mannich-type three-component reaction of aldehydes and anilines with ketones under solvent-free conditions to afford the β-amino ketones in good yields with good stereoselectivities. The catalyst can be recycled for subsequent reactions without any appreciable loss of efficiency.
