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. […]
Silica ferric hydrogensulfate is an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclization of 2- aminochalcones to the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinolin- 4(1H)-ones. This intramolecular aza Michael reaction was carried out in high yields using chalcones bearing of electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. The catalyst is reusable without significant decreases in its activity after four times recycling.The present […]
