Abstract
A series of 2-amino pyridine-3-carbinitrile derivatives incorporated coumarin moiety has developed via multicomponent condensation of 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-one, arylaldehydes, malononitrile and ammonium acetate utilizing Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, (4-sulfobutyl)tris(4-sulfophenyl)phosphonium hydrogen sulfate as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Good yields, short reaction times, straight forward workup, reusability of the ionic liquid and green conditions are the most obvious advantages of this methodology.
