“…At the same time, the oxidative aromatization of 1,4-dihydropyridines has also been extensively studied and numerous oxidizing reagents, namely, CuBr 2 [7], SiO 2 /P 2 O 5 -SeO 2 [8], H 2 O 2 /Co(OAc) 2 [9], and Na 2 S 2 O 4 /TBHP [10], have been used for the aromatization of 1,4-dihydropyridines. Some reports have observed that the direct oxidative procedure was very efficient for the preparation of Hantzsch pyridines under microwave-assisted condition or solventfree condition [11][12][13]. However, the search for the new readily available and green methods is still being actively pursued.…”
