Abstract:
Background: The present method is facile, green and effective for the synthesis of 2-
amino-3-cyano-4H-pyran derivatives which are obtained by one-pot three-component condensation
reactions of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and methyl acetoacetate using diammonium hydrogen
phosphate (DAHP) in aqueous ethanol at room temperature.
Methods: 2-Amino-3-cyano-4H-pyrans were synthesized through a one-pot three-component tandem
Knoevenagel cyclocondensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and methyl
acetoacetate in the presence of 10 mol% of DAHP as a catalyst under aqueous ethanol medium at
room temperature. All obtained structures were confirmed by their physical constant, IR, 1H NMR,
13C NMR spectroscopy, and also elemental analyses for new derivatives.
Results: Three-component synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-pyrans catalyzed by DAHP with aromatic
aldehydes, malononitrile and methyl acetoacetate in aqueous ethanol medium at room temperature
was prepared. The achieved derivatives (nine entries) were well synthesized in excellent
yields.
Conclusion: The present method is straightforward, quick, and most efficient green protocol for
the synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-pyran derivatives using highly inexpensive, easily handle
and, nontoxic DAHP as an efficient catalyst in aqueous ethanol medium at room temperature.
