Abstract: In the presence of catalytical amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 methylacetophenone can react directly with benzaldehyde, 4-methylbenzaldehyde and some aromatic amines in ethanol solution at 26~32 ℃ to afford 1-(4-methylphenyl)-3 aryl-3-arylamino-1-propanones with 61%~96% yield. There are seven new compounds among the 17 substances prepared. The IR and 1H NMR spectra and elemental analyses of these Mannich bases are given and they are consistent with the structures of these compounds.

Key words: Mannich reaction, Mannich bases, Aromatic aldehydes, Aromatic amines, 4-Methylaceto-phenone
