All at once: Microwave irradiation of a metal‐free mixture of propargyl enolethers and primary amines generates substituted alkyl 1,2‐dihydropyridine‐3‐carboxylates in excellent yields through a domino process (see scheme). The obtained 1,2‐dihydropyridines feature four possible diversity points and a chemical handle for complexity‐diversity generation (carboxylic ester at the C3 position).
The generation of a small and representative library of 3,5,8-trisubstituted coumarins (21 compounds, 7 families, 3 groups) is described. The library was built from the corresponding propargyl vinyl ethers and three different 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives using a one-pot coupled domino strategy. These coumarins constitute a novel chemotype defined by the presence of a chemical handle in the pyranone ring
