Abstract

L-Arginine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of active methylene compounds, 2-cyano-N-(2- nitrophenyl)acetamide, 2-cyanomethyl benzimidazole, ethylcyanoacetate with benzaldehydes, indole-3- carboxaldehydes under mild and efficient conditions resulting in the formation of respective products. The isolation procedure is quiet easy and products recovered without further purification.

Keywords: 2-cyanomethyl benzimidazole, ethylcyanoacetate, indole-3-carboxaldehydes, knoevenagel reaction, L-arginine, Onitroaniline.
