Water is a versatile solvent in many ways, and in this sense performing organic reactions in this medium is now of great interest. The one-pot reaction of ethyl acetoacetate or benzyl acetoacetate, with benzaldehydes and malononitrile to provide some novel 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-2-methyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxylates has been performed over nano MgO with high performance in water as a green solvent a...

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...

An efficient one-pot synthesis of functionalized 2-amino-4H-pyrans by a meglumine-catalyzed three-component reaction has been developed. A broad range of substrates including aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, isatin derivatives, and acenaphthenequinone are condensed with enolizable C-H activated compounds and alkylmalonates to give the desired products in high to excellent yields. This met...

2-Amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes show great potential as novel anticancer agents. Here we report a quinine-catalyzed highly enantioselective formal 4 + 2 cycloaddition of ortho-quinone methides and malononitrile, providing a unique approach to 4-arylvinyl, 4-aryl and 4-vinyl 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Moreover, this reaction can be performed in up t...

Organocatalyzed synthesis of tert-butyl 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-4-phenyl-5,7-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrrole-6(4H)-carboxylate, prepared from Boc-tetramic acid and benzylidenemalononitrile, is disclosed. Two bifunctional noncovalent organocatalysts were employed, yielding the product as a racemic mixture in both cases. The structure new synthesized compound was confirmed by high resolution mass-spect...
