K2CO3-Mediated, One-Pot, Multicomponent Synthesis of Medicinally Potent Pyridine and Chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine Scaffolds
摘要:
An efficient one-pot, multicomponent synthesis of 3,5-dicyanopyridines has been developed from the reaction of malononitrile and different thiophenol or thiols with a variety of aldehydes (aromatic including hindered ones, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic) in the presence of 20 mol% of K2CO3 in refluxing 50% aqeuous ethanol. KMnO4 has been utilized as a readily available, inexpensive oxidant for the in situ transformation of the initially formed dihydropyridine intermediate. K2CO3 also mediates the one-pot formation of chromeno[2,3-b]pyridines from reaction of salicylaldehyde or its analogs with malononitrile and thiol or thiophenols. Both of these conditions also work equally well under 50-fold scale-up conditions.Supplemental materials are available for this article.
