We have described an efficient method for the one-pot
synthesis of β-acetamido ketones using an environment
friendly, heterogeneous nanoreactor catalyst. Simpli-
city, excellent yield of products, reusability of the cat-
alyst, and clean reaction conditions are established.
This methodology also overcomes the formation of
unwanted by-product. Thus, we believe that the present
methodology opens up new possibilities for medicinal
chemistry and material sciences, and can prove to be an
important addition to the existing methodologies. Fur-
ther investigations into the scope and synthetic appli-
cations of this nanoreactor catalyst are currently under
investigation in our laboratory.
