TiO2–SiO2 Catalyzed Eco‐friendly Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity of Benzopyrano[2,3‐d]pyrimidine Derivatives

A cost‐effective and eco‐friendly synthesis of benzopyrano[2,3‐d ]pyrimidine derivatives has been developed via three component one‐pot tandem approach by condensing different salicylaldehydes and secondary amines with malononitrile in the presence of TiO₂–SiO₂ catalyst at 80°C under solvent‐free conditions. Mild experimental conditions, reusability of the catalyst, and cost effectiveness are the merits of this procedure. Compounds 4g , 4h , and 4i bearing 2‐OMe group on the hydroxyphenyl group linked to the central carbon present in between the two nitrogen atoms of the pyrimidine ring were found to exhibit good antioxidant activity while other compounds have moderate antioxidant activity.     

Eco‐friendly synthesis of 1,8‐dioxo‐octahydroxanthenes catalyzed by ionic liquid in aqueous media

A biodegradable functionalized ionic liquid 3‐(N,N‐dimethyldodecylammonium)propanesulfonic acid hydrogen sulfate ([DDPA][HSO₄]) was prepared and used as a Brønsted acid–surfactant‐combined catalyst for the eco‐friendly one‐pot synthesis of 1,8‐dioxo‐octahydroxanthenes at 100°C in water. Under these conditions, the reaction of various aromatic aldehydes with dimedone generated 1,8‐dioxo‐octahydroxanthenes in good yields with a simple postreaction procedure. The products could simply be separated from the catalyst/water system, and the catalyst could be reused at least six times without noticeably decreasing the catalytic activity. J.

The synthesis of 3,3‐dimethyl‐2‐(1‐aryl‐1h‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐3h‐indoles

2,3,3‐Trimethylindolenine and 5‐chloro‐2,3,3‐trimethylindolenine were converted into β‐diformyl compounds by the action of the Vilsmeier reagent at 50°C. The dialdehydes reacted with various arylhydrazines and 2‐pyridylhydrazine to produce mono‐hydrazones as mixtures of cis and trans isomers. Heating the hydrazones in refluxing ethanol produced 3,3‐dimethyl‐2‐(1‐aryl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐3H‐indoles in excellent yields. Reaction of the β‐diformyl compounds with hydrazine itself led directly to 3,3‐dimethyl‐2‐(pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐3H‐indoles.
