Bismuth nitrate-catalyzed versatile Michael reactions.
Bismuth nitrate-catalyzed versatile Michael reaction was developed to reduce the complications that characterize the current standard Michael reaction and used for facile preparation of organic compounds of widely different structures. For example, several substituted amines, imidazoles, thio compounds, indoles, and carbamates were prepared at room temperature by following this method. In contrast with the existing methods using many acidic catalysts, this method is very general, simple, high-yielding, environmentally friendly, and oxygen and moisture tolerant. However, the promoting role of bismuth nitrate in this reaction is not understood at this time.
