A complement to the classic three-component Mannich reaction, the redox-Mannich reaction, utilizes the same starting materials but incorporates an isomerization step that enables the facile preparation of ring-substituted beta-amino ketones. Reactions occur under relatively mild conditions and are facilitated by benzoic acid.
