Superoxide Ion Prompted One Pot Multicomponent Synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives
Abstract
Superoxide ion, generated in situ by the phase transfer reaction of potassium superoxide and 18-crown-6, brings about an easy one pot multicomponent synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridinefrom1-naphthylamine, aromatic aldehydes and dimedoneunder significantly mild reaction conditions at room temperature. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
