Phosphane‐Catalyzed Knoevenagel Condensation: A Facile Synthesis of α‐Cyanoacrylates and α‐Cyanoacrylonitriles

Abstract: Triphenylphosphane (TPP) has been utilized as a novel and efficient catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with acidic methylene compounds such as ethyl cyanoacetate and malononitrile to afford substituted olefins. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild and solvent‐free conditions and the products are obtained in excellent yields with an E‐geometry. This method is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes including aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic substrates. Microwave irradiation has bee… Show more

“…This improved method gave a higher yield (95%) than reported before (85%, [11]), and the compound was obtained in analytically pure state without further purification (mp 225 -2268C; reported: 219 -2208C [12], 221 -2238C [13], 228 -2308C [14]). Compound 10b reacted with cyclohexa-1,3-dione 11a and with dimedone 11b (Scheme 2) to afford the chromene derivatives 12a and 12b, respectively, similar to the behavior of 10a towards the same diketones [4].…”

“…The solvent-free reactions are especially appealing as they provide an opportunity to work with open vessels, so it avoids the risk of high-pressure development. In continuation of our research program on developing new synthetic methodologies in solvent-free conditions [19][20][21][22][23][24], herein we wish to report, an efficient, procedure for the alkylation of different malonates with various substituted halonitro benzenes using K 2 CO 3 -neutral alumina (Scheme 2).…”
