Cross-condensation of derivatives of cyanoacetic acid and carbonyl compounds. 2. One-pot synthesis of substituted 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyrans in ethanol and ionic liquid [bmim][PF6]

The three-component reaction of 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2(2H)-one with cyanoacetic acid derivatives and carbonyl compounds in EtOH or in the ionic liquid, viz., 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolinium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF₆]), affords substituted 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyrans. The yield of substituted pyrano[4,3-b]pyrans in [bmim][PF₆] is by 10—14% higher than that in EtOH.

Electrocatalytic transformation of malononitrile and cycloalkylidenemalononitriles into spirobicyclic and spirotricyclic compounds containing 1,1,2,2-tetracyanocyclopropane fragment

Electrolysis of malononitrile and cycloalkylidenemalononitriles in EtOH in an undivided cell in the presence of NaBr affords spirobicyclic compounds containing a 1,1,2,2-tetracyanocyclopropane fragment in 50—88% yields.     

Three-Component Synthesis of Pyrimidine and Pyrimidinone Derivatives in the Presence of High-Surface-Area MgO,a Highly Effective Heterogeneous Base Catalyst

Magnesium oxide (MgO) effectively catalyzes the three-component reaction of aldehydes, amidine systems, and malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate to form 4-amino-5-pyrimidine carbonitrile and pyrimidinone derivatives, respectively. The salient features of this method include high conversions, short reaction times, cleaner reaction profiles, and the use of inexpensive and readily available catalyst.     

Novel Metal Oxide of CuO-ZnO Nanocatalyst Efficiently Catalyzed the Synthesis of 2-Amino-4H-chromenes in Water

Novel metal oxide of CuO-ZnO nanocatalyst was prepared by a coprecipitation method and characterized by x-ray diffusion, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The catalyst is efficient for the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes by one-pot condensation of aromatic aldehydes, hydroxynaphthalene derivatives, and malononitrile in water at reflux conditions. Moreover, CuO-ZnO nanocatalyst can be recycled up six times without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.

A series of new oxygen-, nitrogen- and sulfur- containing spiro heterocycles was synthesized by reactions of 2-(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile with some active methylene and bidentate compounds.     

REACTIONS WITH THIAZOLINONES: A NEW ROUTE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF THIAZOLONYLPYRIDAZONE AND THIAZOLYLPYRAZOLONE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

2-Amino-1.1.3-tricyanoprop-l-ene (1) reacted with thioglycollic acid to afford the key compound for this study namely: 2-amino-I,I-dicyano-3(2-thiazolin-4-on-2-yl)prop-1-ene 2. 2 reacted with hydrazines to afford the thiazolylmethylaminopyrazole derivatives 3 and 4. The reaction of 2 with diazotised primary aromatic amines afforded coupling products which were cyclised to the hydrazothiazolonylpyridazine derivatives 7. The reaction with aromatic aldehydes gave the his-ylidene derivatives 8. Structures are assigned based on elemental and spectroscopic analysis.     

Ce(SO4)2·4H2O as a Recyclable Catalyst for an Efficient,Simple, and Clean Synthesis of 4H-Benzo[b]pyrans

An efficient method for the synthesis of 4H-benzo[b]pyrans has been developed by the use of Ce(SO₄)₂·4H₂O (2.5 mol%) as a catalyst. Heating the mixture of an appropriate aldehyde, malononitrile, and dimedone in the presence of the catalyst at 45°C in a mixture of water:ethanol (1:1) as solvent for about 9–55 min resulted excellent yields of the corresponding products. Short experimental time of the reaction, excellent yields, simple workup, not using cumbersome apparatus for purification of the products, and inexpensiveness and commercially availability of the catalyst are the advantages of this method.
