The natural organocatalyst phytic acid catalyzed one-pot Biginelli reactions by coupling β-ketoesters, aldehydes, and (thio)ureas to afford 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/thiones. This phytic acid catalysis featured good to excellent isolated yields, solvent-free conditions, a simple workup, environmental friendliness, and a short reaction time.

MCRs for preparation of chromenopyridines under reflux conditions and chromenes at room temperature conditions from different salicylaldehydes, malononitrile and different thiols (mol ratio = 1:2:1) were established. Mechanistic investigation suggests that the MCRs undergo different pathways at different temperatures and catalyzed by different organic bases. The structure of chromenopyridine and chromene are confirmed by crystal X-ray crystallography.MCRs for preparation of chromenopyridines under reflux conditions and chromenes at room temperature conditions, respectively, from different salicylaldehydes, malononitrile and different thiols (mol ratio = 1:2:1) were established.
