A practical method for the synthesis of cinnamamides and piper amides via a conceptually novel three component reaction of aldehydes, amines and Meldrum's acid has been reported. The reaction proceeds under operationally simple conditions without the aid of coupling reagents, oxidants, or catalysts, which are essential for the preparation of cinnamamides/piper amides via known methods. The formation of undesired chemical wastes that generally originate from the use of coupling reagents, oxidants, or catalysts has been avoided to make this reaction more atom economical.

Piperlotines are natural products characterized by an α,β-unsaturated amide moiety. These compounds found wide applications in Medicinal Chemistry like antibacterials, cytotoxic agents, anticoagulants, among others. To date, diverse methods of synthesis have been reported for piperlotines, but involving the use of catalysts, hazard reagents, anhydrous media or coupling reagents. Thus, in this work, we developed a greener method of synthesis of piperlotines A, C, and derivatives, through mechanochemical activation under solvent-free conditions. The reaction of a β-amidophosphonate, K2CO3, and an aromatic aldehyde afforded target compounds in moderate to good yields (46–77%), in an open atmosphere by grinding. It is worth to mention that this mechanochemical process was under thermodynamic control because just E isomer was isolated for every reaction. Moreover, synthesized piperlotines have been predicted by means of chemoinformatic analysis as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of arthritis or cancer.
