Abstract
An improved catalyst-free, three-component reaction of ammonium acetate, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and aromatic α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds has been carried out in water–ethanol (50:50) under reflux conditions. The improvement of yield in this aqueous medium is attributed to a combination of increased association of the reactants by hydrophobic interactions and precipitation of the product during the reaction. This operationally simple procedure is less laborious and provides a better scope and chemoselectivity than previously reported procedures.

- 24 General Procedure for the Synthesis of Substituted Pyrroles To a mixture of benzoin derivative (2 mmol) and 1,3-dicarbonyl compound (2 mmol) in H2O–EtOH (2 mL, 50:50) was added NH4OAc (4 mmol), and the mixture was stirred under reflux for the requisite time. After completion of the reaction (TLC), ice was added, and the product was isolated by filtration.
