Descripción:	1,4-Dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are privileged heterocycles with broad relevance in medicinal chemistry and redox-related applications. However, conventional Hantzsch syntheses typically require prolonged thermal heating and often suffer from limited efficiency and regioselectivity. Herein, we report a sustainable and efficient microwave-assisted protocol for the synthesis of 1,4-DHPs, employing phosphotungstic acid (HPW) as a heteropolyacid catalyst in PEG-400 as a green reaction medium. The multicomponent cyclocondensation proceeds rapidly under microwave irradiation, affording the desired 1,4-DHP derivatives in good to excellent yields within short reaction times. Compared with classical acid-catalyzed conditions, the HPW/PEG-400 system markedly enhances regioselectivity toward the 1,4-DHP framework while simultaneously reducing energy input. Moreover, the catalytic system exhibits good recyclability, underscoring its potential as a practical and environmentally responsible platform for the synthesis of bioactive 1,4-dihydropyridine scaffolds.
