Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) was found to be an efficient phase-transfer catalyst for the synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines by one-pot reaction of 6-aminouracils, aromatic aldehydes, and malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate in water under ultrasonic irradiation. The advantages of this method are the use of an inexpensive and readily available catalyst, short reaction time, easy work...

A simple procedure afforded novel spiroacenaphthylene derivatives in high yields at room temperature from acenaphthenequinone, malononitrile, and phenol derivatives using amino-functionalized silica (SBA-Pr-NH2) as a heterogeneous efficient solid base catalyst. Using SBA-Pr-NH2 in the current procedure presents several advantages, such as a simpler procedure, shorter reaction times, facile synt...

Tri- or tetrasubstituted α-cyanoepoxides can be rapidly prepared from unactivated amines and malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate when singlet oxygen, produced in a continuous-flow photoreactor, serves as an oxidant and in situ peroxide source. The hydrogen peroxide generated in amine oxidation epoxidizes an electron deficient olefin intermediate, formed by deaminative Mannich coupling. The cor...

The reported structures of reaction products of enaminones with malononitrile in ethanolic piperidine are revised. A novel route to 2,3-dihydropyridazine-4-carboxylic acids 4a-c via reactions of 2-cyano-5-(dimethylamino)-5-arylpenta-2,4-dienamides 8a-c with nitrous acid or with benzenediazonium chloride is reported. Compounds 8a-c are converted to 1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid and 1,2-d...

The Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aldehydes with malononitrile was described in this study, which was catalyzed by an efficient and recyclable ionic liquid-supported proline. The method represented an attractive alternative to the classical synthesis strategies and exhibited the advantage of performing homogeneous chemistry on a large scale additionally avoided large excesses of reagents...

Substituted aromatic amines were diazotized followed by coupling with malononitrile to afford substituted phenyl hydrazono-malononitrile compounds 2a-c. Compounds 3a-c were prepared through the reaction of substituted phenyl hydrazono-malononitriles 2a-c with phenyl hydrazine, while the reaction of compounds 2a-c with hydrazine hydrate afforded diamino compounds 4a-c. The diamino compounds 4a-c...

BACKGROUND Pyridopyrimidines are of current interest because of their extensive variety of biological and pharmacological activities. RESULTS A series of pyrido[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazinones was obtained by aminomethylation of pyridopyrimidinethione with formaldehyde solution (37%) and different primary aromatic amines. Another series of pyrido[2',3:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]th...

A new series of the title compounds incorporated into diverse N and O heterocyclic moieties of pharmacoavailability as anti-inflammatory or analgesic agents, were synthesized starting with 6-bromo-2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (I) by its fusion with p-aminoacetophenone to give the intermediate compound, 6-bromo-2-phenyl-3-(4-acetylphenyl)-4(3H)quinazolinone (II). The one pot reaction of II w...

By self-assembly of (E)-2-(3-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)styryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile (L(1)) and (E)-2-(3-(4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)styryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile (L(2)) with silver(I) salts, eight new complexes, namely AgL(1)2ClO4 (1), AgL(1)2NO3 (2), [AgL(1)2NO3]·C6H6 (3), [AgL(1)2OOCCF3]·C6H6 (4), [AgL(1)2PF6]·C6H6 (5), AgL(2)2NO3 (6), [AgL(2)OOCCF3...
