Abstract

Application of microwave irradiation to Meldrums acid and aryl aldehydes, both adsorbed on neutral alumina, furnished efficiently the corresponding Knoevenagel condensation products remarkably fast.

Keywords: Knoevenagel condensation, Meldrum's acid, araldehydes, neutral alumina, microwave
