“…16,17 For example, 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) compounds are recognized as pharmacological molecules owing to their diverse uses as antihypertensive medicine, neuro-protectants, antiplatelet therapy, and anti-ischemic agents. [16][17][18][19] The Hantzsch condensation reaction involves the condensation of a β-ketoester or β-diketone, an aldehyde or ketone, and ammonia (or a primary amine) in the presence of catalysts. 20 So far, a number of different catalysts have been used for this reaction; [21][22][23][24] however, these have major drawbacks, including a low yield, relatively high temperature and pressure, and longer reaction time.…”
