Abstract :Microwave irradiation has been used to improve the one-pot synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4,6-diarylnicoti- nonitrile in the presence of boric acid as an efficient and green catalyst under solvent-free conditions within 48--60 s. All the analogs that have not been reported previously were characterized by their melting points, IR, $^{1}$H NMR, and $^{13}$C NMR spectra. One of the structures was verified by the analysis of a single crystal. The reported synthetic procedure provided remarkable advantages such as short reaction times, excellent yield, facile workup, and the use of a green catalyst.
