“…Hence, considering the fascinating advantages of MCRs, some methodologies for the synthesis of tetrahedrondydro[ b ]pyrans via three components one-pot reactions catalyzed by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane [14], N -methylimidazole [15], tetra-methyl ammonium hydroxide [16], (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 [17] K 3 PO 4 [18], ZnO-beta zeolite [19], nanosized Ce 1 MgXZr 1− x O 2 [20], Ru(II) complex [21], Na 2 SeO 4 [22], S -proline [23], l -proline [24], 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene [25], sulfonic acid functionalized silica [26], phenylboronic acid [27], caro’s acid-silica gel [28], and cerium(III) chloride [29] have been reported. In addition, procedures of catalyst-free and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as reaction medium [30], microwave and ultrasonic irradiation [9,31,32] could also give satisfactory yields of pyrans.…”
