One-pot three-component reactions catalyzed by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) for the synthesis of bicyclic ortho-aminocarbonitrile derivatives (21 examples, 68%~96%) have been developed. The reactions proceeded smoothly at room temperature and generated the corresponding products in short reaction time with high to excellent yields. Importantly, the desired products could be easily collected through simple filtration and washing with ethanol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
