Mannich bases are the end products of Mannich reaction and are known as beta-amino ketone carrying compounds. Mannich reaction is a carbon-carbon bond forming nucleophilic addition reaction and is a key step in synthesis of a wide variety of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and so forth. Mannich reaction is important for the construction of nitrogen containing compounds. There is a number of ...

A catalytic Mannich reaction of a simple ester with no activating functionality at the α-position via a product-base mechanism was reported. The desired Mannich adducts were obtained in high yields using a catalytic amount of KH. This is a rare example of a Brønsted base-catalyzed Mannich reaction of unactivated esters as substrates.

the direct three component modified mannich reaction via condensation of aldehydes, 2-naphthol or 2,7-naphthalendiol and piperidine to generate betti bases has been carried out over l-proline (20 mol%) with high efficiency under solvent free conditions at 70 oc. also, the reaction of aromatic aldehyde and 4-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of l-proline (20 mol%) in the ethanol under reflux condi...

Non-coordinated hydroxymethylphosphines react readily with primary and secondary amines by the phosphorus Mannich reaction. To determine if this reactivity can be used to synthesize phosphine macrocycles, trans-Fe(DHMPE)(2)Cl(2) (DHMPE = 1,2-bis(dihydroxymethylphosphino)ethane) was prepared and reacted with various amines. However, no phosphorus Mannich reactivity was observed. In order to unde...

2-Aminoquinolin-4(1H)-one was reacted with various primary/secondary amines and paraformaldehyde under Mannich reaction conditions. In the case of secondary amines, the reaction in N,N-dimethylformamide yielded expected Mannich products accompanied with 3,3'-methylenebis(2-aminoquinolin-4(1H)-one). Except these main products, the pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-5-one derivative was also identified as c...

Present work describes the synthesis of coumarin Mannich bases 4-7 by the application of Mannich reaction on 7-hydroxy-4-methyl coumarin 3 using conventional as well as microwave technology to compare the feasibility, reaction time and yield of the product. For this, 7-hydroxy-4-methyl coumarin 3 was prepared using Pechmann condensation reaction and Mannich bases (4-7) were synthesized by the r...

The asymmetric Mannich reaction ranks among the most potent enantioselective and diastereoselective C-C-bond forming reactions. In recent years, organocatalysed versions of asymmetric Mannich processes have been increasingly reported and used in a rapidly growing number of applications. This tutorial review provides an overview of the recent history of the asymmetric organocatalysed Mannich rea...

The development of a direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction is shown and its potential demonstrated by the synthesis of optically active lactones via 4-hydroxyglutamic acid ester derivatives. The catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of carbonyl compounds with α-imino esters [Eq. (1); Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl] gives good yields and diastereoselectivities, as well as excellent enantioselecti...

A catalytic asymmetric nitro-Mannich (aza-Henry) reaction with rare earth metal/alkali metal heterobimetallic catalysts is described. A Yb/K heterobimetallic catalyst assembled by an amide-based ligand promoted the asymmetric nitro-Mannich reaction to afford enantioenriched anti-b-nitroamines in up to 86% ee. Facile reduction of the nitro functionality allowed for efficient access to optically ...

A catalytic enantioselective method for the synthesis of α-quaternary Mannich-type products is reported. The two-step sequence of (1) Mannich reaction followed by (2) decarboxylative enantioselective allylic alkylation serves as a novel strategy to in effect access asymmetric Mannich-type products of "thermodynamic" enolates of substrates possessing additional enolizable positions and acidic pr...
