The aim of this work is the synthesis of new tetraheterocyclic compounds of interest as potential biologically active substances that include the isoxazole and chromone moieties in their structure. The synthesis of such compounds was carried out with two stages. By Knoevenagel condensation of 3-methyl-1,2-isoxazol-5(2H)-on with salicylic aldehyde (4Z)-4-(2-hydro-xybenzyliden)-3-methyl-1,2-oxazol-5(4H)-on was obtained. In this reaction an excess of half of the aldehyde equivalent was used to increase the yield of the product. Pyperidine was used as a catalyst. The reaction was carried out by boiling the components in ethyl acetate. The reaction of the resulting benzylidenisoxazole derivative with cyclohexane-1,3-dione or dimedone was performed by boiling the components in ethanol without the use of a catalyst. The interaction mechanism includes heterodiene Dielsa-Aldera condensation followed by dehydration of one water molecule. As a result, 3-methyl-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-b]chromene-5(4H)-one and 3,7,7-trimethyl-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8,9-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-b]chromen-5(4H)–one were obtained. Purification of the synthesized compounds was carried out by crystallization from ethanol. All the obtained compounds were characterised by IR 1H NMR and UV spectroscopies. In 1H NMR spectra there are signals of the methyl groups of the isoxazole ring of compounds at 2.26, 2.29, 2.34 ppm respectively. In the UV spectrum of a plane molecule of (4Z)-4-(2-hydroxybenzyliden)-3-methyl-1,2-oxazol-5(4H)-on there is a long-wave absorption maximum (400.9 nm) corresponding to the joint system of conjugated bonds of the isoxazole and aromatic rings. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by high resolution mass-spectrometry analysis. In the spectra of 3-methyl-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-b]chromene-5(4H)-one and 3,7,7-trimethyl-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8,9-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-b]chromen-5(4H)–one the[M + Na]+ ion peaks were observed. The presence of fragment peaks [M + Na – CO]+ and [M + Na – CO – H2O]+ confirms the presence of hydroxy and carbonyl groups in the molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
