Glycolic acid-supported cobalt ferrite-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline and indenopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives

Herein, one-pot synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline and indenopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was developed by the three-component reaction of aldehydes, 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of glycolic acid-supported cobalt ferrite CoFe₂O₄@SiO₂@Si (CH₂)₃NHCOOCH₂COOH as a novel magnetic catalyst in ethanol at reflux conditions. Glycolic acid-supported cobalt ferrite was characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Moreover, the catalyst was easily recovered with magnetic separation and recycled at least for five times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. The products were formed in excellent yields over appropriate reaction times under environmentally friendly conditions. The high efficiency and easy isolation of catalyst from products with an external permanent magnet are some of the remarkable advantages of this method.

Starting with 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 1 ), 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 5 ) was prepared by three different ways: (a) chlorination of 1 in acetic acid gave 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-dichloromethylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide, which reacts with an excess of hydrazine to give about 60% of 5 ; (b) oxidation of 1 with selenium dioxide gave 90% of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-formylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 3 ), which reacts with hydrazine to give 5 (63%); (c) compound 3 was treated with hydrazine to give 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyridazino-[4,5-b]quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 4 ) (70%), which by reduction with sodium dithionite gave 5 (80%). Compound 5 reacts with phosphorus pentasulfide or the Lawesson reagent to give 1,2-dihydro-1-thiocarbonylpyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 9 ), which treated with hydrazine gave 5 (80%).
