Bimetallic Ag–Cu alloy nanoparticles as a highly active catalyst for the enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Abstract

Bimetallic Ag–Cu alloy nanoparticles were obtained <italic>via</italic> a simple co-reduction method, which exhibited significantly improved activity for the synthesis of β-enaminones and β-enaminoesters compared with their monometallic counterparts.
