Multi-component coupling reaction (MCR) is a powerful synthetic tool for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Development of such multi-component coupling reaction strategies in visible light has been of considerable interest, as they provide simple and rapid access to a large number of organic molecules through a sustainable path. An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans derivatives by one-pot, three component coupling reaction of aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, and dimedone has been developed using readily available cesium carbonate as the catalyst under visible light. This efficient procedure has the advantages of giving the target compounds in high yields, short reaction times, simple work-up procedure, use of chief and easily available catalyst, and environmentally benign conditions.

Abstract
The highly substituted pyridine derivatives are found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. They are also emerged as potential medicinal leads in developing therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases. In this work, a series of 2-amino-3,5-dicarbonitrile-6-thio-pyridine derivatives ...

The highly substituted pyridine derivatives are found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. They are also emerged as potential medicinal leads in developing therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases. In this work, a series of 2-amino-3,5-dicarbonitrile-6-thio-pyridine derivatives have been synthesized at room temperature via one-pot, multi-component reaction of various aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and thiophenols using catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and cesium carbonate in methanol. In the present method, the use of thermal condition is avoided. In addition, the advantages such as operational simplicity, economic viability, ecologically benign nature make this protocol a very efficient alternative to the literature methods.

Abstract
The three components one pot synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzo-[b] -pyran derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields within short reaction time by condensing dimedone, aldehydes and malanonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate using a catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene as hypervalent iodine in aqueous ...

The three components one pot synthesis of 2-amino-4H-benzo-[b] -pyran derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields within short reaction time by condensing dimedone, aldehydes and malanonitrile or ethylcyanoacetate using a catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene as hypervalent iodine in aqueous ethanol under reflux conditions have been discussed. This aqua mediated Knoevenagel-cyclocondensation of various aromatic and hetero-aromatic aldehydes along with the aldehydes like aryl-sulphonyloxybenzaldehyde, aryl-carbonyloxybenzaldehyde also leads to the product under the same reaction conditions. High yields, shorter reaction times, one pot condensation, operational simplicity, easy work-up, purification of products by non-chromatographic methods are some additional features of the present protocol.
