Synthesis of new 4,6-diaryl-2-(arylthio)nicotinonitriles in Triton X-100 aqueous micellar media

In this communication, we report four component condensations of acetophenone, arylaldehydes, arylthiol, and malononitrile in the presence of Triton X-100 (5 mol%) aqueous micelles. This reaction led to the formation of 4,6-diaryl-2-(arylthio)nicotinonitrile new derivatives in good yields. The FT-IR, 19F NMR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra and elemental analysis confirm the structure of compounds.
