Abstract
Herein, we report a rapid catalyst-free three-component reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, cinnamaldehydes and 3-aminopyrazoles in ethanol medium under reflux conditions for the easy access of styryl-linked dihydropyridines fused with naphthoquinone and pyrazole moiety. A wide variety of cinnamaldehyde derivatives and 3-aminopyrazoles were found suitable for this three-component reaction. All the products were fully characterized by spectroscopic tools and by recording single crystal XRD of one of the product. Catalyst-free reaction conditions, short reaction time, good yields of the products, easy purification process, formation of three new bonds (Two C-C and one C-N) in one-pot and products having four different bioactive moieties are the notable features of this methodology.
