Ferric nitrate nonahydrate as a mild and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of β-enaminones

Abstract

1122-1127Ferric nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O) has been found to be an extremely mild and efficient catalyst for the preparation of β-enaminones from β-dicarbonyl compounds and amines (aliphatic amines, aromatic amines and α-amino acid esters)
