Polyguanidine is used as a novel and highly efficient catalyst in the Knoevenagel reaction of aldehydes with active methylene compounds in water to afford substituted electrophilic alkenes. This method is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes including aromatic and heterocyclic substrates. The polyguanidine catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and reused many times for the aqueous Knoevenagel reaction without loss of activity.

Rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of substituted olefins such as 2-(4-chlorophenylmethylene) malononitrile, 2-(4-hydroxyphenylmethylene) malononitrile and 2-cyano-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acrylamide etc under the influence of microwave irradiation are described. Urea has been utilized as an efficient catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with acidic active methylene compounds such as malononitrile, ethylcyanoacetate and cyanoacetamide to afford substituted olefins under the influence of microwave irradiation. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild and solvent free conditions and the products are obtained in good yield. The method is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes including aromatic and heterocyclic substrates. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.55(2), 159-164, 2020

:We have developed an efficient and green synthesis of quinoline derivatives using L-proline under Knoevenagel condensation. L-proline was found to be an efficient catalyst for the Knoevenagel condensation of substituted 2-aminoaryl ketones 1 with the active methylene compounds 2, affording quinolone derivatives 3. The reaction has been done under conventional as well as under microwave conditions. The latter procedure has been found to be much more efficient in terms of time and yield.

Ionic liquids (ILs) as “green solvents” provided an effective and efficient procedure for Knoevenagel condensation reactions. It is applicable for a large range of aldehydes, ketones with active methylene compounds. ILs can significantly promote the reaction rates. High yields and selectivity of products have been observed. ILs can be recycled and reused. In this paper, the recent achievements of Knoevenagel condensation reactions promoted by ILs are reviewed.

The present work explores a highly efficient, environmental friendly, green protocol for the synthesis of chromen-2-one derivatives (3a-m) by the condensation of salicylaldehydes with various active methylene compounds using zirconium (IV) oxychloride as catalyst. This is a convenient and rapid method for Knoevenagel condensation and this methodology offers several advantages including shorter reaction time, milder conditions, inexpensive catalyst, simple operational procedure and allowed to achieve the desired products in excellent yields. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data.
