Abstract

Magnesium oxide (MgO) and bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate as highly effective catalysts which have catalyzed the three-component reaction of cyanoacetic acid hydrazide, aldehydes and malononitrile to prepare of the corresponding N-amino-2-pyridones. These catalysts are inexpensive and easily obtained, stable and storable, easily recycled and reused for several cycles with consistent activity.
