Abstract

A highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines in the presence of nano-sphere silica sulfuric acid (NS-SSA) was used for good yields by one-pot multicomponent reaction (MCRs). The reagent nano-sphere silica sulfuric acid (NS-SSA) has several advantages, such as easy workup, nontoxicity, convenience and high yields of products.
