Tetra-N-Butyl Ammonium Hydroxide was used as a catalyst for one-pot, three component condensation reactions consisting of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and barbituric acid in ethanol:water solvent system at 60oC. Current method has major advantages like mild reaction conditions with simple operation, high yields, by using a less toxic and lower costlier catalyst.In conclusion, we have explo...
