Abstract

An innovative, powerful, efficient and relatively rapid method was developed to synthesise various beta-aminoketone derivatives from cyclohexanone, substituted aromatic amines and aromatic or hetero-aromatic aldehydes via ultrasound-assisted direct-type catalytic Mannich reaction using bismuth(III) triflate in water. Good yields of the desired beta-aminoketones were obtained at room temperature by ultrasound-assisted reaction within 1-2 h. The major advantages of the proposed method are undemanding conditions, easy operation, low toxicity, shorter reaction time, anti selectivity and higher yields in comparison with conventional methods.
