We have successfully developed a new Mo-Al2O3/p-TSA organocatalyst which has improved the yield of the Mannich reaction. This protocol has the advantage of mild conditions, high yield, easy work-up, environmentally friendly procedure, and the solid catalyst was recycled. The catalyst was analysed by XRD, SEM, and EDS techniques. The synthesized Mo-Al2O3composites were used in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) conducts the one-pot three-component Mannich reaction and various β-amino ketones prepared with good yields and characterized by IR, 1H, and 13C NMR Techniques.
