Abstract
Aromatic aldehydes and hippuric acid in acetic anhydride undergoes classical Erlenmeyer synthesis in the presence of a catalytic amount of Montmorillonite K-10 to afford the corresponding azlactones in excellent yields with high selectivity. The azlactone formation does not proceed in the absence of either acetic anhydride or Montmorillonite.
