Abstract

A direct three-component approach has been developed for the synthesis of α-cyano acrylates starting from aldehydes, alcohols and α-cyano acetamide by employing cyanuric chloride as an organocatalyst. A class of structurally diverse α-cyano acrylates have been provided with good to excellent yields via the cascade transformation of Knoevenagel condensation and amide esterification.
