Vg. Sadvilkar et al., AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS OF HYDROTROPES AS EFFECTIVE REACTION MEDIA FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 4-ARYL-1,4-DIHYDROPYRIDINES, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 63(1), 1995, pp. 33-36
The condensation of benzaldehydes with acetoacetic esters and ammonia
was carried out in aqueous solutions of aliphatic hydrotropes. Substan
tial enhancement in the rates of the reactions along with easy recover
y of the product were noted. The recyclabilty of the hydrotropes has a
lso been tested.
