An efficient, cost‐effective and simple protocol has been developed for the synthesis of Hantzsch 1,4‐dihydropyridines and their oxidation into pyridines using benzyltrimethylammonium fluoride hydrate as an excellent catalyst under solvent‐free condition. All of the products synthesized by this method are characterized by various spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and DEPT).
A simple and cost‐effective approach for the synthesis of Hantzsch 1,4‐dihydropyridines under solvent‐free reaction conditions and a new method for their efficient oxidation are developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
