Microwave‐Assisted,One‐Pot Multicomponent Synthesis of Some New Cyanopyridines

An efficient and facile synthesis of cyanopyridines via a one‐pot four‐component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, acetophenones, malononitrile, or 2‐aminoprop‐1‐ene‐1,1,3‐tricarbonitrile in presence of sodium alkoxide or ammonium acetate under both microwave and thermal reaction conditions was introduced.
