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 yields.
A convenient synthesis of different types of polyfunctional dihydropyrrol-2-ones via one-pot four component reactions of formaldehyde, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and amines, catalyzed by trichloroacetic acid (Cl3CCO2H) at room temperature has been investigated. The significant advantages of this synthetic method are mild reaction conditions, available and inexpensive material, short reaction times, good yields, simple work-up.
FeCl3.6H2O was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction of aromatic amines, aromatic aldehydes and β-keto esters in EtOH at room temperature. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are good yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need to column chromatography and easy work-up. […]
Oxalic acid dihydrate as a green, mild and efficient catalyst for the one-pot three-component Biginelli synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one derivatives from the reaction between β-keto esters (methyl or ethyl acetoacetate), aromatic aldehyde (benzaldehye derivatives) and urea or thiourea under thermal and solvent-free conditions with excellent yields and short reaction time is studied. The most remarkable benefits […]
