A mild and efficient one-pot three-component synthesis of anti-β-amino-carbonyl compounds catalyzed by NH4OAc and their anticancer activities

Anticancer activity of Mannich bases: a review of recent literature

This report summarizes the latest published data on the antiproliferative action and cytotoxic activity of Mannich bases, a structurally heterogeneous category of chemical entities that includes compounds which are synthesized via the grafting of an aminomethyl function onto diverse substrates by means of the Mannich reaction. The present overview of the topic is an update to the information assembled in a previously published review that covered the literature up to 2014.

A ZnS@N-GQD nanocomposite as a highly effective and easily retrievable catalyst for the sonosynthesis of β-amino carbonyls

A three-component reaction of acetophenone, aromatic aldehydes, and aniline derivatives has been achieved in the presence of a ZnS@nitrogen graphene quantum dot (N-GQD) nanocomposite as a highly effective heterogeneous catalyst to produce β-amino carbonyls. The catalyst has been characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy, EDS, BET and TGA techniques. The feasibility of carrying out the one-pot synthesis under ultrasonic irradiation with a heterogeneous nanocatalyst could improve the reaction rates and shorten the reaction times.

A flexible and highly efficient protocol for the sonosynthesis of β-amino carbonyls using a ZnS@N-GQD nanocomposite has been developed.

Asymmetric synthesis of β-amino ketones by using cinchona alkaloid-based chiral phase transfer catalysts

A highly enantioselective nucleophilic addition of ketones to imines catalyzed by chiral phase-transfer catalysts (N-quaternised cinchona alkaloid ammonium salts) has been developed, and the process affords the Mannich reaction products with tertiary stereocenters in good to high yields (up to 95%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).
