The 1,4-addition of various thiols to α,β-unsaturated ketones was completed rapidly in the presence of a catalytic amount (2-3 mol %) of anhydrous iron(III) chloride under solvent free conditions and an air atmosphere. Anhydrous iron(III) chloride is more active than that of other ferric salts. With more reactive and/or less steric reagents (1a-c and/or 2a-2c), expeditious conditions (short reaction times at room temperature) could be employed. With less reactive and/or steric reagents (1d-g and/or 2d-e), a slight increase in reaction time was required, but high yields were obtained. The FeCl3 catalyst causes preferential interactions with α,β-unsaturated ketones present in the reaction.

A mild and efficient process for the 1,4-addition of thiols and benzeneselenols to various α,β-unsaturated ketones using a catalytic amount of CAN with excellent product yields is described. This inexpensive, nontoxic, and readily available catalytic ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate system efficiently catalyzes conjugate addition reactions between thiol derivatives and various α,β-unsaturated ketones under solvent-free conditions. A plausible mechanism for the role of CAN, both as a promoter in free radical chain addition reactions as well as a catalyst for the conjugate addition process is proposed.

A simple and efficient method for the Michael reaction between various mercaptans and α,β-unsaturated ketones using a catalytic amount of iodine (5 mol %) to generate the 1,4-adduct has been reported. The significant features of the iodine catalyzed Micha
