Abstract

A one-pot, three-component Mannich reaction of cyclohexanone with aromatic aldehyde and aromatic amine was efficiently catalyzed by Yb(OTf)3/PEG-supported quaternary ammonium salt system in water at room temperature. This reaction afforded the corresponding β-amino carbonyl compounds in good yields with high anti selectivity, and the catalyst system was recyclable.

Key words

General Procedure for the Synthesis of β-Amino Carbonyl Compound 4
To a mixture of phenylamine (1 mmol), benzaldehyde (1 mmol), and cyclohexanone (1.2 mmol) in H2O (10 mL) were added PEG-supported ammonium salt 5 (0.3 mmol) and Yb(OTf)3 (0.01 mmol). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h, and then extracted with Et2O (10 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhyd Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by SiO2 column with EtOAc-hexane (1:16) as eluent to afford 4, which was rescrystallized from hexane-EtOAc to give analytical pure sample. All products gave satisfactory spectroscopic and analytical data.
