Ag/CNT-catalyzed hydroamination of activated alkynes with aromatic amines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/aoc.2950

As a nanoparticle support material, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide a certain potential activation of catalysis in heterogeneous catalytic organic reactions. Herein, an efficient Ag/CNT-catalyzed synthesis of enamines via hydroamination of activated alkynes with aromatic amines has been described. This catalyst still retains catalytic activity after being recycled and reused three times. In addition, it represents a green and environmentally friendly process for preparation of enamines. Copyright 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Ag/CNTs catalysis has been developed to synthesize enamines via hydroamination of asymmetry alkylnates with aromatic amines. The catalysis can be recycled and reused 3 times, which also remain catalytic activity. In addition, it represents a green and environmentally friendly process for preparation of enamines. Copyright
