Abstract
We have developed an efficient, bismuth-catalyzed, Mannich-type three-component reaction by combining the corresponding aldehyde, amine, and silyl ketene acetal. The reaction proceeds rapidly and affords the corresponding β-amino esters in high yields (up to 90%).

General Procedure for the Bismuth-Catalyzed Mannich-Type Reaction.
Under an inert atmosphere of argon, the silyl ketene acetal (1.2 mmol) in 1 mL of dry THF was added dropwise to a solution of Bi(OTf)3·nH2O (0.02 mmol), the aldehyde (distilled, except p-nitrobenzaldehyde; 1 mmol), and the aniline (1 mmol) in 1 mL of dry THF at -78 °C. The mixture was stirred at -78 °C (Method A) or stirred at -78 °C for 0.15 h and then allowed to reach r.t. (Method B). The mixture was stirred until the reaction was completed as indicated by TLC. The reaction was quenched with H2O (4 mL) and extracted with Et2O (3 × 20 mL). The organic phase was washed with H2O and sat. aq NaCl, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under vacuum (rotary evaporator). If the crude product was a solid, it was triturated with hexane (10 mL) and filtered; otherwise, it was purified by column chromatography (eluent hexane-EtOAc). The spectral data for 4b-h,j-n match with those reported in the literature.
