A green and expedient approach for the synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via four-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile at room temperature under ultrasound irradiation is described. The reaction has been catalyzed by thiamine hydrochloride in aqueous medium. This protocol afforded several advantages such as inexpensive, easily available catalyst, simple operational procedure, excellent yield, use of aqueous medium and ultrasound irradiation that is considered to be relatively eco-friendly.
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.
