Heterogeneous an-Henry reactions of aldimes with nitromethane were examined with zeolites as catalysts. Among the zeolite used, H-Y zeolite showed satisfactory catalytic activity for various aldimines, resulting in corresponding beta-nitroamines in good yields. H-Y zeolite also showed the excellent reusability until the 3rd usage without loss of its activity; further, the calcination of deactivated H-Y zeolite allowed it to rejuvenate its catalytic activity. Solid-state C-13 MAS NMR revealed the predominant activation of an aldimine into the H-Y zeolite. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Nitroamines and nitrothiols were synthesized in high yields by the Michael addition of amines and thiols to nitroolefins without using any catalyst. Also, the reaction of amines with dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD) in water afforded the corresponding enamines.
