Hf(OTf)<sub>4</sub> was identified as a highly potent catalyst (0.1-0.5 mol%) for three-component Mannich reaction under solvent-free conditions. Hf(OTf)<sub>4</sub>-catalyzed Mannich reaction exhibited excellent regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity when alkyl ketones were employed as substrates. <sup>1</sup>H NMR tracing of the H/D exchange reaction of ketones in MeOH-<i>d</i><sub>4</sub> indicated that Hf(OTf)<sub>4</sub> could significantly promote the keto-enol tautomerization, thereby ...[more]
