The intrinsic catalytic properties of K10 and KSF montmorillonites allow the achievement of more environmentally acceptable procedures for C–C bond formation: Michael addition and α-alkoxyalkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are performed by a convenient and cheap procedure based on the employment of montmorillonites as heterogeneous, reusable catalysts.
