An efficient synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidines was achieved by four component domino reaction of aldehydes, barbituric acid, hydrazine hydrate, and ethyl acetoacetate using biodegradable and recyclable choline chloride:urea as deep eutectic solvent. The reaction proceeds rapidly and affords the corresponding diverse tricyclic fused pyrazolopyranopyrimidines with a good to excellent yield. The protocol has the advantage of easy workup, high yields, and an environmentally benign methodology compared with other reported methods. The simplicity of this method makes it an interesting alternative to other approaches.
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.
