ResumoGREEN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.This work describes an undergraduate experiment for the synthesis of Knoevenagel adduct of Meldrum's acid with nine aromatic aldehydes, using water as the solvent, in an adaptation of a previously reported synthetic protocol.The synthesis was straightforward, requiring a period of two hours, and is suitable for undergraduate experimental courses on green chemistry.In addition, quantitative analyses of the relative reactivity of p-nitrobenzaldehyde and p-metoxi-benzaldehyde was evaluated through the competitive reaction of equimolar amounts of these aldehydes with one equivalent of Meldrum's acid, using gas chromatography to quantify the composition of the reaction mixture.
