“…A simple and general protocol for preparation of 2-amino-4 H -pyran derivatives involves a three-component one-pot cyclocondensation of ethyl acetoacetate, malononirilel/alkyl cyanoacetate and various carbonyl compounds. Several modified methods have been reported using different homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts such as uera-chCl 55 , potassium phthalimide- N -oxyl 56 , potassium phthalimide under ball-milling 57 , Et 3 N under sonication 54 , CuFe 2 O 4 @starch 58 , CoFe 2 O 4 -Cell/Fe (III) SSZ 59 , KF-Al 2 O 3 60 , Fe 3 O 4 /EDTA 61 , γ-Fe 2 O 3 -Im-Py) 2 WO 4 62 , amine-functionalized SiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 63 , water extract of red mud 64 , sodium alginate 13 , 14 , isocyanurate-based periodic mesoporous organosilica 65 and silver nanoparticles-decorated Preyssler functionalized cellulose 66 in recent years. In continuation of our research group to expand the catalytic activity of pristine or modified biopolymers for different MCRs 10 – 14 , 32 , 67 , 68 , this report presents the use of Cs-EDTA-Cell as a biopolymer nanocatalyst for the synthesis of 2-amino-4 H -pyran derivatives (Fig.…”
