Abstract
Mohammad Bakherad, Amir H Amin, Rahele Doosti
We describe a one-pot four component synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles from hydrazine hydrate or phenyl hydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate, an aldehyde, and malononitrile in the presence of catalytic amounts of a caffeine as a green catalyst in water at 50 ºC. The present protocol offers the advantages of a clean reaction, a short reaction time, a high product yield, and an environmentally-friendly, easily-purified, and economically-available catalyst.
