In the presence of a catalytic amount of Ln(OTf)3 or Cu(OTf)2, three-component Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes, amines, and silyl enolates proceeded smoothly in micellar systems to afford the corresponding β-amino ketones or esters in high yields. These reactions were successfully carried out in water without using any organic solvents.
