β-Aminoketones are important scaffolds that possess excellent biological properties including anti-muscle spasms, analgesia, nausea suppression, antipsychotic effects, antihypertension, and antitumor activity [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. As seen in Fig. 1, many pharmacological medications and biologically active intermediates depend on β-amino carbonyl compounds as building blocks [7], [8], [9], such as Tolperisone [10], Ondansetron [11], Proroxan [12], Moban [13], and Ipatasertib [14].
