triphenyl phosphine(pph3), an efficient and reusable catalyst, catalysed the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-6-methyl-4-aryl-4h-pyran-5-ethylcarboxylate derivatives by one-pot condensation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and ethyl acetoacetate in etoh-h2o (1:1) at reflux conditions. the results show that aromatic aldehydes containing electron-donating groups or electron-withdrawing groups cou...
