A mild and efficient one-pot three-component and environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of a wide range of hydantoin annulated derivatives has been described. A multi-component reaction between a carbonyl compounds (ketone or aldehyde), potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate (as cyanating agent and amine source, respectively leads to the formation of hydantoins. The proposed optimi...

One-pot four-component synthesis of polyfunctionalized 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives was developed by a condensation of aldehydes, malononitrile, diethylacetylenedicarboxylate and aniline in the presence of choline chloride/urea as a deep eutectic solvent (DES)at room temperature.Moreover, an efficient method was reported for the synthesis of highly substituted 4H-chromenes through one-...
