TiO2 nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes (TiO2‐CNTs) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst was used for the synthesis of spiro[3,4′]1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐indol‐2‐one‐2′‐amino‐5′‐oxo‐4'H,5'H‐pyrano[3′,2′‐c]chromen‐3′‐yl cyanides and spiro[3,8′]1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐indol‐2‐one‐6′‐amino‐8'H‐[1′,3′]dioxolo[4′,5′‐g]chromen‐7′‐yl cyanides via the cyclocondensation reaction of isatins with malononitrile and 4‐hydroxycoumarin or 3,4‐methylenedioxyphenol in aqueous media at room temperature. This reaction offers several sustainable and economic benefits such as high yields of products, convenient operation, and use of non‐toxic catalyst in water media.
In conclusion, we have successfully synthesized novel 8-aryl-8H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5- g]chromrne-6-carboxylic acid derivatives by the Ag/CdS nanocomposite catalyzed cyclocondensation reaction of arylmethylidenepyruvic acids with 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol under mild reaction conditions. Environmentally benign procedure, high to excellent yields of products, simplicity of operation, and use of readily available and recyclable catalyst are the advantages of this new practical reaction.
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.
