A protocol for the isothiourea-catalysed transfer hydrogenation of ?,?-unsaturated para-nitrophenyl esters using Hantzsch ester has been developed. Good to excellent yields are observed aryl bearing electron-withdrawing ?-substituents. The products can either be isolated directly in moderate (7 examples, 16–98%) or converted corresponding methyl (2 68–70% yield) benzyl amides 44–88% after situ ...

Two new ligand systems related to the previously described DOTTADs have been generated in a simple one step reaction. The first, trans-DOTTADs, were formed by Vilsmeier formylation (followed by cyclisation and N-demethylation) of 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyrazine-dicarboxylic acid, to give the novel bis-pyridinopyrazine dialdehyde ligands. The corresponding pyrazine diester, reacted similarly to an int...

In this study, multi component Hantzsch reaction was carried out between various  Aromatic Aldehyde with Dimedone,Ethyl acetateand ammonium acetate to produce polyhydroquinolinederivatives under solvent-free conditions at 110oC by a (Zinc oxide  nanocatalyst) as effective Lewis acid. The remarkable advantages offered by this method compared with other methods are a green catalyst, si...

An efficient and environmental-friendly synthetic route to 1,8-dioxodecahydroacridines derivatives have been developed via multi-component one-pot Hantzsch reaction of various aldehydes and ammonium acetate with 2 equivalents dimedone in the presence of Phosphorus pentoxide supported on aluminaas catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The present approach offersseveral advantages such as s...

An efficient synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives was reported via four-component coupling reactions of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl ketones (dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione), ethyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of nanocrystalline TiO2 under solvent free conditions. The reported method is mild, rapid and has the advantages su...

An efficient, recyclable and environmental-friendly synthetic route to polyhdroquinoline derivatives have been developed via multi-component one-pot Hantzsch reaction of various aromatic aldehyde, 2 equivalents of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone), ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate using nano magnesium oxide as a catalyst in ethanol under reflux condition. Reaction with 4-chlor...

The title compound, C(18)H(19)NO(5), is a product of the Hantzsch reaction of p-phthalaldehyde, methyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate. The 1,4-dihydro-pyridine ring of the mol-ecule adopts a flattened boat conformation. The benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the 1,4-dihydro-pyridine ring; the plane through the six C atoms of the benzene ring and the plane through the four C atoms that ...
