Notably, monoaddition was exclusively observed with primary amines, and the catalyst retained its activity over multiple cycles. The versatility of this catalytic system was further demonstrated through activation methods such as microwave irradiation, ultrasonication, and mechanochemistry, which significantly reduced reaction times and aligned with the principles of green chemistry. Beyond intermolecular transformations, MS 4 Å was successfully applied to intramolecular aza-Michael reactions of functionalized chalcones, enabling the synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones.
