Enamination of β-Dicarbonyl Compounds Catalyzed by CeCl3·7H2O at ­Ambient Conditions: Ionic Liquid and Solvent-Free Media

Enamination of a wide various primary amines was successfully carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of cerium chloride heptahydrate in ionic liquid and solvent-free conditions as 'green' media under mild reaction conditions.
