Abstract

A new and efficient one-pot synthesis of dihydropyridone and pyridone derivatives by four-component reaction between cyanoacetamide, aryl aldehydes and ethyl acetoacetate with ammonium in green solvents is described. The reaction was performed in water solvent under reflux conditions and afforded good yields of products.
