An efficient four-component reaction to synthesize pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines from malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes, isoquinoline, and cyclohexyl isocyanide under solvent-free conditions is described. In a convenient, simple, and efficient one-pot procedure, the domino Knoevenagel-nucleophilic cycloaddition reaction affords excellent yields of products in less than 1 h.
An environmentally benign, one-pot, A3-coupling reaction of various aldehydes, amines and terminal alkynes for the synthesis of propargylamine was catalysed by Amberlyst A-21 supported CuI, under heterogeneous and solvent-free conditions.
