Abstract
A simple, efficient, environmentally benign, catalyst free and solvent free protocol has been developed for the synthesis of β-enaminones and β-enamino esters by the reaction of amines with various 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds under mild conditions. It constitutes a green approach which is a valuable addition to the existing methods for the synthesis of these compounds.
