Abstract:

An efficient protocol was developed for the four component and one-pot synthesis of functionalized 1, 4-dihydropyridines by thiamine (VB1) as biocatalyst via the reaction of malononitrile, substituted aldehydes, dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate and substituted aniline in ethanol at room temperature. Reactions were completed in 80 min. Availability and non-toxicity are the advantages of this green catalyst. Also, easy work-up, no chromatographic purifications and high yields in short reaction time are the advantages of this procedure.
