A simple, atom economical, fast and highly efficient green protocol has been developed for the synthesis of nitroamines and nitrosulfides by the Michael addition of amines and thiols to nitroolefins by simple mixing or grinding. This catalyst-free and solvent-free green approach provided the addition products in quantitative yield within minutes at room temperature. This procedure does not require any water quenches, solvent separations and purification steps such as recrystallization and column chromatography.
MgO nanoparticles were prepared by an improved sol–gel technique which appeared to have narrow size distributions. The synthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles were used as an efficient catalyst in aza-Michael reaction for addition of amines to a series of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and nitro olefins under solvent-free conditions at room temperature to afford high yields of the β-amino carbonyl and β-nitro amines. The catalyst can be recovered and reused at least five successive runs without loss of activity.
