A mixture of an appropriate aldehyde, malononitrile and dimedone in the presence of a catalytic amount of Mn(III) complex resulted in excellent yields (95-100%) of the corresponding products at ambient temperature. This new methodology is of interest due to use of water as a green solvent, its short reaction time, high yields and no further purification https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3601_05e9dff3cc08b9e7e7f75465057fc670.pdf
