SnO nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of chromeno[2,3-b]pyridines and 2-amino-3,5-dicyano-6-sulfanyl pyridines

Abstract

SnO nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of chromeno[2,3-b]pyridines and 2-amino-3,5-dicyano-6-sulfanyl pyridines under reflux conditions in ethanol in good to excellent yields. This flexible and nano-catalytic procedure showed good recyclability and provides a clean condensation reaction in a short reaction time.
