Synthesis and in-vitro antimicrobial screening of 3-cinnamoyl coumarin and 3-[3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-3-aryl-propanoyl]-2H-chromen-2-ones

An efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- Michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (CSA) under solvent free conditions is described. The corresponding Michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. […]

One-pot synthesis of functionalized thiazolidine-4-ones from thiosemicarbazone derivatives and activated acetylenes in water as a green solvent

Some 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones have been synthesized by the reaction of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with thiosemicarbazones. The reaction was performed in the presence of 10 mol% of triphenylphosphine and tetrabutylammonium bromide as a phase transfer catalyst in water as a green solvent. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by their physical and spectral data.

Efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of quinoxalines derivatives catalyzed by acidic ionic liquids at room temperature

In this research, we have developed cheap recyclable and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (AILs) 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [Hmim]HSO4, 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Hmim]Cl, 2-pyrrolidonium hydrogensulfate [Hnhp]HSO4 and applied them in acid catalyzed synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives from 1,2-phenylendiamines and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. The products could be separated from the catalyst simply by filtration and the catalyst could be […]

A new method for synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans and dihydropyrano[c]chromenes using p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as catalyst in water

p-Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was used as a catalyst for a simple and efficient one-pot synthesis of aryl substititued tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans and dihydropyrano[c]chromens via initial Knoevenagel, subsequent Micheal and final heterocyclization reactions of aryl aldehyde, malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin/dimedone in moderate to excellent yields. The present method was operationally simple and use of water as the reaction medium […]

Decatungstodivanadogermanic heteropoly acid (H6GeW10V2O40.22H2O): A green and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of Biginelli-type 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones/thiones

Decatungstodivanadogermanic acid (H6GeW10V2O40.22H2O) was used as a green heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones from one-pot three-component cyclocondensation reaction of a β-ketoester, an aldehyde and urea/thiourea under solvent-free conditions is reported. This method provides an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction reported in 1893, in terms of high yields, and […]

Silica-bonded n-propyltriethylene-tetramine as a recyclable solid base catalyst for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes

Silica-bonded n-propyltriethylene-tetramine (SBNPTT) was found as an efficient solid base for the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromenes. Chromene derivatives were obtained via the three-component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. The heterogeneous solid base showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.
