A novel, practical and green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles catalyst and its application in three-component coupling of aldehyde, alkyne, and amine

Ag nanoparticles were synthesized in PEG with simple bubbling of H-2, and were used to catalyze the three-component coupling reaction of aldehyde, alkyne, and amine with good to excellent yields in one pot. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
