Abstract

A novel, one-pot, three-component synthesis of β-amino acids is described. Heating an alkaline aqueous solution of a 2-aminopyridine, an aldehyde and Meldrum’s acid afforded β-amino acids in good to excellent yields.

Key words

β-amino acids - 2-aminopyridines - aldehydes - Meldrum’s acid - three-component reactions - synthesis in water
