摘要:
Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate has been found to be a new and highly efficient catalyst for Michael addition of thiols to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions and in H2O at room temperature. The reactions are very fast and are completed in 2 min to 1 h affording high yields. The rate of thiol addition was dependent on the steric hindrance at the beta-carbon of the alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl substrate. In the case of chalcones, the reactions are best carried out in MeOH as solvent. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
