“…Therefore, good efforts have been made by chemists for the synthesis of these heterocyclic scaffolds using numerous methodologies. A number of methods have been reported for the synthesis of pyran detivatives involving the multicomponent condensation of aldehydes, malononitrile and 1,3 cyclic diketones or substituted pyrazoles in presence of various catalysts such as (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 , [22] Na 2 SeO 4 , [23] CeCl 2 .7H 2 O, [24] SiO 2 @Pr@SO 3 H, [25] Cl 3 COOOH, [26] sodium acetate, [27] PFPA, [28] Fe 2 O 3 @SiO 2 @VB 1 NPs, [29] molecular iodine, [30] LiBr, [31] pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate, [32] NaF, [33] etc. In spite of the advantages of these synthetic methods, quite a few of them have some limitations such as harmful conditions, expensive catalyst, low yields, long reaction times, high temperature, difficult workup procedure etc.…”
