Abstract
A simple and clean method for producing 6‐amino‐4‐aryl‐5‐cyano‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1,4‐ dihydropyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazole from aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile and 3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐ 2‐pyrazolin‐5‐one catalyzed by hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTMAB) in water is described. This method provides several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, simple workup procedure, and being environmentally friendly.
