Abstract
A multicomponent, catalyst-free reaction for the synthesis of fused 6-amino-3-methyl-4-aryl-1H-pyrazolo [3,4-b] pyridine-5-carbonitrile from 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, malononitrile, and substituted aldehydes under ultrasound irradiation in short reaction times (8–10 min) with good yields (85–98%) is reported.
