four component couplingreaction of dialkyl but-2-ynedioate, twodifferent amines, and an aldehyde. The reaction is site-selective with respect to aromatic and aliphatic amines. Environmentally benign reaction procedure, excellent yields, tolerance of varieties of functionalities in the reactants, a wide variety of products and reusability of the catalyst make the methodology highly beneficial for
The multicomponent domino reaction synthesis of dihydro-2-oxopyrroles has been performed using the sulfonated metal–organic framework, UiO-66-SO3H (UiO is the University of Oslo), as a highly efficient acid catalyst.
