Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds like methyl and ethyl cyanoacetate, malononitrile, and cyanoacetamide proceeds smoothly with stirring in water in the presence of 4 mol% of diammonium hydrogen phosphate. The reactions were carried out at room temperature in short periods with very simple workup procedure and good to high yields.
1
Diammonium hydrogen phosphate efficiently catalyzes Knoevenagel condensation in water at a low loading of 4 mol%.
2
The condensations proceed at room temperature within short reaction times and provide good to high yields.
3
The method uses stirring in water and offers a very simple workup, supporting its efficiency and greener processing profile.
4
Various aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes react with methyl or ethyl cyanoacetate, malononitrile, and cyanoacetamide under the procedure.
