Introduction of an efficient DABCO-based bis-dicationic ionic salt catalyst for the synthesis of arylidenemalononitrile, pyran and polyhydroquinoline derivatives
Abstract —An affordable DABCO-based bis-dicationic ionic salt ([(DABCO)2C3H5OH]·2Cl) was utilized for the synthesis of arylidenemalononitrile, tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran, pyrano[2,3-d]-pyrimidinone (thione), dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromene, and polyhydroquinoline derivatives. The significant features of the presented method are ease of preparation and handling of the catalyst, high catalytic activity, short
