✦ Synopsis
Several transition-metal-based Lewis acid catalysts, especially FeCl 3 ¥ 7 H 2 O, CrCl 3 ¥ 6 H 2 O, and SnCl 4 ¥ 4 H 2 O, were shown to be highly effective for aza-type Michael reactions between electrophilic a,b-unsaturated compounds and both aliphatic and aromatic amines in aqueous solution. Advantages of the new protocol include 1) high-yielding reactions that can be conducted at ambient temperature; 2) the use of inexpensive, stable transition-metal salts as catalysts; and 3) plain H 2 O as an environmentally benign solvent.
