Microwave-assisted liquid-phase synthesis of methyl 6-amino-5-cyano-4-aryl-2-methyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxylate using functional ionic liquid as soluble support

A microwave-assisted liquid-phase synthesis of methyl 6-amino-5-cyano-4-aryl-2-methyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxylate was developed using functional ionic liquid as soluble support. IL-bound acetoacetate was treated with arylidenemalononitriles to give supported 4H-pyran derivatives. After cleavage, the target compounds were obtained in good yields and high purities without chromatographic purification.
