ABSTRACT.A new, simple, thermally efficient and solvent-free condensation of 2-amino-4,5-dihydro-4-phenylpyrano[3,2-b]indole-3-carbonitrile derivatives with coumarin-3-carboxylic acid employing succinimide-Nsulfonic acid (SuSA) as catalyst for the synthesis of a series of 5,6-dihydro-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-5-phenylindolo[2',3':5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives is described. This method has the advantages of high yield, simple methodology, and short reaction time, as well as being green in terms of avoiding the use of toxic catalysts and solvents. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recycled and reused four times without significant loss of activity. Thiourea dioxide (TUD) catalyzed efficient three-component coupling reactions of aromatic aldehydes, 3-hydroxyindole and malononitrile in water at 70 ºC was described as the preparation of 2-amino-4,5-dihydro-4-phenylpyrano[3,2-b]indole-3-carbonitrile derivatives.
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.
