Abstract
A highly efficient one-pot synthesis of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines is catalyzed by sulfonic acid covalently anchored onto the surface of silica gel. All types of aldehydes, including aromatic, unsaturated, and heterocyclic aldehydes, gave excellent yields. The heterogeneous silica gel/sulfonic acid catalyst can be recycled without significant loss of activity.
