N‐donor ligand as catalyst: A simple aza‐michael addition reaction in aqueous media

Abstract magnified image A novel approach for the Aza‐Michael addition reactions between various amines and α,β‐unsaturated esters, nitriles and ketones using N‐donor Ligand catalyst (3 mol %) is described. The reactions are carried out in aqueous media at an ambient temperature to afford the products in excellent yields.
