A Heterogeneous, Highly Efficient, and Reusable Mo-Al2O3 Composites Based Organocatalyst for One Pot Three-Component Mannich Reaction for the Synthesis of β-aminocarbonyl Compounds

Abstract

We have successfully developed a new Mo-Al₂O₃/p-TSA organocatalyst which has improved the yield of the Mannich reaction. This protocol has the advantage of mild conditions, high yield, easy work-up, environmentally friendly procedure, and the solid catalyst was recycled. The catalyst was analysed by XRD, SEM, and EDS techniques. The synthesized Mo-Al₂O₃composites were used in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) conducts the one-pot three-component Mannich reaction and various β-amino ketones prepared with good yields and characterized by IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR Techniques.
