Abstract
Condensation of 2-acetylpyrrole with 5-methylfuran-2-carboxyaldehyde and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in 20% NaOH give the corresponding 2-chalconylpyrroles. Some new 2-alkoxy-3-cyano-4,6-diarylpyridines were synthesized by condensation of chalcones with malononitrile, followed by cyclization in sodium alkoxide. The reactivity of chalcones towards nitrogen nucleophiles such as thiourea and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to provide thiopyrimidine
s
and isoxazolines was investigated.
