a simple and efficient one-pot, three-component strecker reaction of protected amino acids, aromatic aldehydes, and trimethylsilyl cyanide has been developed for the synthesis of chiral α-amino nitriles. the reaction was carried out in the presence of catalytic amount of phosphotungstic acid (h3[p(w3o10)4]) as an environmentally friendly catalyst.

silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (spdtsa) is employed as a recyclable heterogeneous solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of benzopyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines  through one-pot condensation reaction of salicylaldehydes, malononitrile and secondary amines  at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. spdtsa showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction ...

[reaction: see text] A one-pot reaction for Cu(II)-catalyzed diazo transfer and Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (sometimes called click reaction) is reported. 1,4-Disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles are obtained in excellent yields from a variety of readily available amines without the need for isolation of the azide intermediates. The reaction has a broad scope and is especial...

A one-pot three-component synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones via a molecular iodine-catalyzed tandem reaction of simple readily available mono-substituted urea, alkylaldehyde, and arylaldehyde has been developed. The reaction proceeds with high chemo- and regioselectivity to give highly diverse dihydropyrimidinones in reasonable yields under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the first catalyti...

decatungstodivanadogermanic acid (h6gew10v2o40.22h2o) was used as a green heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1h)-ones from one-pot three-component cyclocondensation reaction of a β-ketoester, an aldehyde and urea/thiourea under solvent-free conditions is reported. this method provides an efficient and much improved modification of the original biginelli reaction...

A novel three-component reaction has been developed to assemble biologically and pharmaceutically important tetracyclic fused imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in a one-pot fashion utilizing readily available 2-aminopyridines, isatins and isocyanides. The three-component coupling proceeds through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction followed by a retro-aza-ene reaction and subsequent nucleophilic reac...

an efficient green route for the preparation of naphthoxazinones, applying a three-component one-pot condensation reaction of 2-naphthol, aromatic aldehyde and urea in the presence of nano silica supported ferric chloride under solvent-free conditions has been developed. the present procedure offers several advantages such as short reaction time, simple workup, recovery and reusability of the c...

A method for the Pd-catalyzed N-arylation of both aryl and alkyl amidines with a wide range of aryl bromides, chlorides, and triflates is described. The reactions proceed in short reaction times and with excellent selectivity for monoarylation. A one-pot synthesis of quinazoline derivatives, via addition of an aldehyde to the crude reaction mixture following Pd-catalyzed N-arylation, is also de...

Employing simple and readily available aromatic ketones and anilines as starting materials resulted in the construction of 2-acylbenzothiazoles via a novel self-sequence reaction network, which assembles six reactions in one pot. The reaction network not only supplied a novel method for constructing complex molecules but also provided a typical example for logical self-organization synthesis.

A one pot domino protocol for an efficient synthesis of 7-arylbenzo[c]acridine-5,6-diones, with a novel nucleus, has been developed by reacting 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines using environmentally benevolent p-toluene sulphonic acid as a catalyst. An exciting feature of this communication is the reaction mechanism that depends on the reaction solvent.
