Synthesis of functionalized 2,3-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one from a cascade reaction between 3-formylchromone, malononitrile, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and aromatic aldehydes in aqueous media is described.
A Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite/water as a novel catalytic system is used for the synthesis of benzoxazole derivatives. A shorter reaction time along with high product yield, catalyst stability and recyclability are the merits of this novel protocol.
