Abstract

The one-pot three-component reaction for the synthesis of pyran annulated heterocycles is reported by condensing aromatic aldehydes, ethyl cyanoacetate, or malononitrile and C–H activated acidic compounds in the presence of catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) in ethanol under reflux conditions. The significant features of the present protocol are simple, environmentally benign, high yields, non-aqueous work-up procedure, no chromatographic separation and recyclability of the catalyst.
