A copper-benzotriazole based coordination polymer catalyzes the efficient one-pot synthesis of (N'-substituted)-hydrazo-4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines from azines
A series of new (N’-substituted)-hydrazo-4-aryl-1,4 dihydropyridines were successfully synthesized via a facile one pot catalytic pathway utilizing azines and propiolate esters as starting materials and 1D Cu benzotriazoles based coordination polymer as catalyst. In the absence of catalyst, the corresponding 5-substituted 4,5-dihydro pyrazoles were formed in moderate to high yields. Fine-tuning the catalysts allowed us to gain more insights regarding the plausible reaction mechanism
