An Efficient Synthesis of 1,3-Diphenyl-3-phenylamino-propan-1-one and its Derivatives by Mannich Reaction in the Presence of Doped Porous Carbon by Nitrogen and Sulfur (NS-PCS) as Catalyst

Synthesis of -amino carbonyl compounds by Mannich reaction involves the creation of various bonds in a single action and is attracting great attention as one of the most powerful synthetic tools for the expansion of molecular convolution and versatility. Carbon spheres (CSs) combine the advantages of carbon materials with spherical colloids, which gives them several inimitable features as catalysts. In this work, the reaction between acetophenone, aromatic aldehydes, and aromatic amines has been efficiently catalyzed by porous carbon spheres which were doped by nitrogen and sulfur (NS-PCS) at ambient temperature to give diverse -amino carbonyl compounds in nearly high yields.
