Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on sustainable and efficient organic synthesis, specifically the production of Knoevenagel adducts using triethylamine as a catalyst under microwave irradiation, achieving high yields in just 30 minutes.
- The synthesized adducts were then bioreduced using the marine fungus Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, leading to 2-cyano-3-phenylpropanamide derivatives with good yields in mild conditions over 8 hours.
- The research highlights the importance of optimizing experimental conditions to maximize yields while demonstrating the benefits of combining microwave irradiation and biocatalysis as environmentally friendly approaches in organic synthesis.
