%0 Journal Article %T KSF-supported heteropoly acids catalyzed one-pot synthesis of ¦Á-aminonitriles %A Ezzat Rafiee %A Solmaz Rashidzadeh %A Sara Eavani %A Mohammad Joshaghani %J Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia %D 2010 %I Chemical Society of Ethiopia %X In the presence of KSF-supported heteropoly acid as a heterogeneous, reusable and inexpensive catalyst, three-component reactions between aldehydes or ketones, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide preceded to afford ¦Á-aminonitriles in excellent yields, very short reaction times, and low loading of catalyst. This catalyst was highly selective and other functional groups including carbon-carbon double bond, and heterocyclic moieties did not affect the reaction.
