Abstract
Green, highly efficient, three-component syntheses of thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyridine derivatives via reaction of malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes, and 2-mercaptoacetic acid with a catalytic amount of piperidine without solvent with molar ratios of 2:2:1.2 and 2:2.2:1, respectively, has been reported.
