beta-Amino acid derivatives have a wide variety of applications viz. in the synthesis of peptide analogues, precursor for amino alcohols, optically active amino acids, lactums and diamines. Chemoselective anti-Markovnikov hydroamination reaction of activated olefins was effectively used to synthesize beta-amino acid derivatives using AlSBA-15 and AlMCM-41 catalysts. These catalysts with different Si/Al ratios were synthesized by isomorphous substitution of aluminium into the framework of SBA-15, which induces the Bronsted and Lewis acid sites. The structural integrity of the catalysts was established by characterizing with XRD, N-2-sorption, TEM, NH3-TPD Al-27 MAS NMR and Si-29 MAS NMR techniques. Hydroamination of ethyl acrylate with aniline was used as a test reaction, which gave N-[2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl] aniline with high selectivity. The performance of AlSBA-15 catalyst was also determined with different acrylates and amines to know the general applicability of the catalyst in hydroamination reactions. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The carbonyl-directed C3-H activation and alkylation of 2-aroylbenzo[b]furans with acrylates occurs selectively either in a linear or branched fashion, depending on the catalyst employed; [Ru(p-cymene)Cl-2](2) or Ru(PPh3)(3)Cl-2, respectively. Two alternate pathways-funded upon the differences in steric and electronic preferences of these two complexes-is proposed for the selectivity of linear versus branched products.

Acrylates/acrylic acid are important for polymer industry due to its very high volume applications in different sectors. Activity of Ba/Mg modified hydroxyapatite for vapour-phase dehydration of ammonium lactate with 100\% conversion and 60\% acrylate selectivity was attributed to fine tuning of acid/base properties and formation of surface Ba/Ca lactate species.
