A clean and simple synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3- c]pyrazole-5-carbonitriles was accomplished in good to excellent yields via the one-pot three component condensation of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, an aromatic aldehyde, and malononitrile catalysed by sulfamic acid in ethanol.
