Abstract
A facile and convenient protocol is developed for the fast (5–20 min) and high-yielding (85–95%) synthesis of fused pyranopyrazoles from ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, an aldehyde, and malononitrile in the presence of nontoxic, simple, and readily available organocatalyst glycine in aqueous medium at 25 °C.
Notes
a All the products were known and characterized by comparison with the authentic samples.
b Yield refers to isolated product.
