Abstract
The conjugate hydrocyanation of chalcone derivatives using ethyl cyanoacetate as an organic cyanide source at room temperature under open air and transition metal-free conditions was described. The protocol has advantages of using relatively cheap, less toxic, stable and easy-to-handle cyanating reagent, high yield, and mild reaction condition.
