Aza-Michael addition of amines to activated alkenes catalyzed by Silica supported perchloric acid under a solvent-free condition

An efficient aza-Michael addition of amines to a series of ,-unsaturated ketones, carboxylic esters, nitriles and chalcones has been carried out using perchloric acid supported over silica gel (HClO4-SiO2) at room temperature in high yields under solvent-free reaction conditions.
