The conjugate hydrocyanation of chalcone derivatives using ethyl cyanoacetate as an organic cyanide source at room temperature under open air and transition metal‐free conditions was described. The protocol has advantages of using relatively cheap, less toxic, stable and easy‐to‐handle cyanating reagent, high yield, and mild reaction condition.

An efficient and green method for the synthesis of various α,δ-dicarbonyl esters has been developed via a conjugate addition of ethyl cyanoacetates to chalcones and subsequent iodine-promoted aerobic oxidation. The present protocol features mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, easily available starting materials, and broad substrate scope.
