A simple and eco‐friendly method for the preparation of 1,5‐diaryl‐3‐(arylamino)‐1H‐pyrrol‐2(5H)‐ones via the cyclo‐condensation reaction of aldehydes, amines and ethyl pyruvate in the presence of silica supported ferric chloride (SiO2‐FeCl3) as reusable heterogeneous catalyst is described. The present methodology offers several advantages such as excellent yields, simple procedure and short reaction

Uncatalyzed one-pot pseudo-four-component reaction of ethyl pyruvate, anilines, and aldehydes in n-hexane as solvent, under reflux, affords a variety of 3-amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones in high yield. n-Hexane is an excellent driving force in preparation of the desired products. These compounds have biological and pharmacological properties and are also used in medicinal chemistry. Use of a non-toxic and inexpensive solvent, simple and efficient synthesis, clean work-up, and high yields of the products are the advantages of this method. We report the first catalyst-free method for synthesis this class of compounds.
