Abstract

Multicomponent reaction of benzylidenemalononitrile, 2-acetyl-3-arylacrylates, and aqueous ammonia in alcohols at room temperature proceeds stereoselectively to give (4RS,6SR)-4,6-diaryl-5,5-dicyano-2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylates in 55–87% yields. In this reaction, ammonia acts as both the catalyst and the source of nitrogen for constructing tetrahydropyridine cycle.
