Abstract

12-Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) has been found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst in promoting room temperature Michael additions of amines and aryl thiols to α,β-unsaturated esters and acrylonitrile in water to afford the corresponding saturated amines in good to excellent yields.

Key words

12-tungstophosphoric acid - Michael addition - α,β-unsaturated ester - acrylonitrile - recyclable catalyst - aqueous medium
