Metal-free deformylation strategy enables sustainable Hantzsch-type pyridine synthesis in neat water.

A deformylation-driven multicomponent reaction to access Hantzsch-type pyridine was first realized via a domino Michael/retro-Michael/Aldol/deformylation cascade. This operationally simple protocol fulfills green chemistry principles by employing rea…
