Process for producing beta-aminoketone and catalyst therefor

摘要

A conjugate addition reaction between an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone compound and a carbamate compound is carried out to synthesize a beta-aminoketone, a salt or a hydrate salt of a transition metal of Groups 7 to 11 of the Periodic Table of Elements being present in the reaction system as the catalyst. The novel method and the catalyst are capable of synthesizing the beta-aminoketone by the Aza-Michael reaction with high yield and efficiency.
