Abstract

The synthesis of ethyl (hetero)arylidene cyanoacetates, valuable intermediates in organic chemistry, has been investigated using several commercially available and synthetic nitrogen-based organocatalysts. 4,4 `-Trimethylenedipiperidine (TMDP) was chosen as an efficient organocatalyst regarding short reaction times, excellent yield with a conversion of 100%, and high selectivity. The pure products could be isolated and devoid of a costly workup. The residue could be directly reused for the next catalytic run. Encouragingly, TMDP exhibited chemical stability and high recyclability in five subsequent runs without a significant loss in catalytic activity. Scale-up experiments also demonstrate the current strategy's promising industrial application. Mechanistic studies were conducted to provide insights into the reaction pathways and possible interaction/reaction between organocatalyst and each reactant through performing control experiments and studying FTIR in neat state and NMR spectra in aprotic and protic deuterated solvents. The developed metal-free and halogen-free catalytic strategy offers cost-effectiveness, low toxicity, and enhanced sustainability.
