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.
A combinatorial library of benzylpyrazolyl coumarin derivatives have been synthesized by a green one-pot four-component reaction between aryl hydrazine/hydrazine hydrate (1), ethyl acetoacetate (2), aromatic aldehydes (3) and 4-hydroxycoumarin (4) catalyzed by niobium pentachloride with silver salt under solvent-free conditions has been developed. Experimental simplicity, simple work-up procedure and solvent-free reaction condition at room temperature are important features of the present protocol.
