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.

A facile and efficient one-pot, multicomponent synthesis of 4H-chromenes is reported, through the reaction of arylglyoxalmonohydrates with 1,3-diketones and malononitrile in eTEMPthanol in the presence of L-proline as a catalyst.

A sequential Pd-mediated multi-component reaction followed by Suzuki or Heck or Sonogashira coupling in a single pot has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized pyrroles as potential inhibitors of PDE4.

facile and versatile procedures have been explored for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1h)-ones. these protocols employ the one-pot multi-component condensation of arylaldehydes and aromatic amines with β-keto esters and isatoic anhydride in chloroacetic acid, respectively. the reactions proceeded smoothly to generate the corresponding products in high yield. we...

Maltose as an efficient, available, cheap and eco-friendly catalyst has been applied for the synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2(5H)one derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of arylamines, aromatic aldehydes and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in water. This method has notable advantages in terms of simple workup, no need for column chromatography, short reaction time and high y...
