“…Biginelli reaction takes place by mixing different substituted aldehydes, urea or thiourea, and an active 1,3-dicarbonyl compound in combination with different catalytic systems such as AcOH [14], ZrCl 4 [15], Cu(OTf) 2 [16], SiO 2 /H 2 SO 4 [17], La(OTf) 3 [18], CdCl 2 [19], 1-n-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate [20], SiO 2 /NaHSO 4 [21], Pb(NO 3 ) 2 [22], NaCl [23], KSF clay [24], FeCl 3 [25], BiCl 3 [26], ion-exchange resin [27], LiBr [28] [32], Mn(OAc) 3 [33], InBr 3 [ 34], microwave [35][36][37][38] or ultrasound irradiation [39] and solvent-free conditions [40], Co(NO 3 ) 2 .6H 2 O [41], ZnCl 2 /TBAB [42]. In the last two decades microwave mediated reactions have been of great interest in organic synthesis because of their shorter reaction times and high yields of products with good selectivity.…”
