All chemicals were purchased from Merck or
Fluka Chemical Companies. The products were identi-
fied by comparison of their melting points (mp) and
spectral data in the literature. The progress of each cata-
lyzed reaction was monitored by TLC using sheets. The
1H NMR (300 MHz) and were run on a BRUKER
300 MHz AVANCE III FT-NMR spectrometer (δ in
ppm). Melting points were recorded on a Bamstead
Electrotermal-9200 in open capillary tubes. NS-PCS was
prepared according to our previously reported procedure

General procedure for the synthesis of 1,3-diphenyl-3-ph-
enylamino-propan-1-one
A mixture of acetophenone (3 mmol, 0.35 mL), aro-
matic aldehydes (3 mmol), aromatic amines (3 mmol), and
the catalyst (8 mg) was stirred in EtOH (6 mL) at room
temperature. When the reaction was completed as indi-
cated by TLC, the catalyst was filtered off and the reaction
mixture was placed at ambient temperature to evaporate
EtOH. The product was purified via recrystallization from
hot ethanol to give the relevant compounds, which were
identified by 1HNMR (see supporting information).

CONCLUSION
We have described the synthesis of β-amino car-
bonyl compounds via the direct three-component Man-
nich reaction catalyzed by NS-PCSs. This efficient
protocol has many benefits compared to those reported
in the literature: moderate and relatively highly efficient
catalyst activity, ease of handling and cost efficiency of
