	abstract = {Novel 4-alkyl-3-aryl-2,6-dicyanoanilines were synthesized by a multi-component one-step reaction of aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile and aliphatic aldehyde using tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM) as a catalyst under microwave (MW) irradiation or conventional heating. The optimized reaction condition involved use of 2.5 equivalents of THAM under MW irradiation at 140 W using 20\% MW power for 5 min or conventional heating at 80 {\textdegree}C for 8 h in dimethylformamide. The photophysical properties including λmax, quantum yield and Stokes{\textquoteright} shifts of newly synthesized molecules were studied. All compounds exhibited quantum yield in the range of 0.04{\textendash}0.52 with respect to standard quinine sulphate having quantum yield 0.54. The Stokes{\textquoteright} shifts of all compounds were found in the range of 41{\textendash}105 nm. The current strategy provides operationally simple protocol using THAM as a catalyst to synthesize 4-alkyl-3-aryl-2,6-dicyanoanilines with diverse structural features to make them available for exploration of their photophysical as well as biological applications.},
