Abstract

A novel four-component reaction approach to the efficient synthesis of triamide and amidodiester derivatives using amines or alcohols, aldehydes and alkyl or aryl isocyanides in the presence of Meldrum's acid as a CH acid, instead of carboxylic acid of Ugi four-component reaction, was studied.
