Natural Halloysite Nanotubes as an Efficient Catalyst in Strecker Reaction: The Synthesisof α-Amino Nitriles Under Solvent-Free Conditions

In this work, a green and cost-effective method based on halloysite as natural catalyst for the synthesisof α-amino nitriles via Strecker three-component reaction is introduced. The chemical and physical structure ofnatural halloysite has characterized thoroughly, and then the effect of different parameters such as the amountof catalyst, solvent, and temperature were optimized in the synthesis of ۲-phenyl-۲-(phenylamino)acetonitrileas the model reaction.
