Green catalytic synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes using recyclable mesoporous zirconia modified with tungstophosphoric acid

Abstract

A simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the preparation of aryl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes by a one-pot condensation of 2-naphthol and aryl aldehydes, in the presence of mesoporous zirconia modified with tungstophosphoric acid (ZrTPA60B_T100), to be used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a solvent-free medium using conventional heating. The present approach offers the advantages of clean reaction, simple methodology, short reaction time, and high yield. The reaction work-up is very simple and the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused several times in subsequent reactions without appreciable loss of the catalytic activity.

PEG-600-mediated,green and efficient,tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4- ones

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated, green and efficient, tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolinones are being reported. Condensation of anthranilamide (1) with acetic anhydride in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1 hr gave 2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one (2). Treatment of 2 with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 2–3 hr, gave 2-styrylquinazolinone-4-ones (3) in excellent yields. Treatment of 3 (a–d) either with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), diethyl sulfate (DES), or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in N-substituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4-ones 5 (a–l). In an alternative approach, reaction of 4 (a–c) with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr, without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in 5 (a–l). 4 (a–c) were prepared by treatment of 2 with either DMS, DES, or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually, in the presence of PEG-600 as reaction medium, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base. Both the sequence of reactions, 1 2 3 5 or 1 2 4 5 could be carried out in tandem in an efficient manner in PEG-600 without the isolation of any intermediates. The structures of all the new compounds synthesized in this work have been established on the basis of their spectroscopic data and analytical data.
