Grieco three-component condensation
Condensation
Overview
The Grieco three-component condensation is an organic chemistry reaction that produces nitrogen-containing six-member heterocycles via a multi-component reaction of an aldehyde, a nitrogen component, such as aniline, and an electron-rich alkene. The reaction is catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid or Lewis acids such as ytterbium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Yb(OTf)3). The reaction is named for Paul Grieco, who first reported it in 1985. In the original paper the nitrogen component were benzylamine, methyl amine or ammonium chloride, the reaction now also include anilines, similar to the earlier Povarov reaction.
