One-pot multicomponent synthesis of tetrahydropyridines promoted by luminescent ZnO nanoparticles supported by the aggregates of 6,6-dicyanopentafulvene

Abstract

Pot-shaped fluorescent aggregates of 6,6-dicyanopentafulvene derivative serve as reactors and stabilizers for the preparation of luminescent ZnO nanoparticles, which exhibit high catalytic efficiency in one-pot multicomponent synthesis of tetrahydropyridines.
