Since 2019, the infection of SARS‐CoV‐2 has been spreading worldwide and caused potentially lethal health problems. In view of this, the present study explores the most commodious and environmentally benign synthetic protocol for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[
b
]pyran and pyrano[2,3‐
d
]pyrimidinones as SARS‐CoV‐2 inhibitors via three‐component cycloaddition of aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, and dimedone/barbituric acid in water. Lemon peel from juice factory waste, namely, lemon (
Citrus limon
), sweet lemon (
C. limetta
), and Kaffir lime or Citron (
C. hystrix
), effectually utilized to obtain WELPSA, WESLPSA, and WEKLPSA, respectively, for the synthesis of title compounds. The catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy‐dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). The concentration of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the catalyst (WELPSA) was determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The current approach manifests numerous notable advantages that include ease of preparation, handling and benignity of the catalyst, low cost, green reaction conditions, facile workup, excellent yields (93%–97%) with extreme purity, and recyclability of the catalyst. Compounds were docked on the crystal structure of SARS‐CoV‐2 (PDB: 6M3M). The consensus score obtained in the range 2.47–4.63 suggests that docking study was optimistic indicating the summary of all forces of interaction between ligands and the protein.
A green, commodious, immensely versatile synthetic route for agro waste extract WELPSA catalyzed cyclocondensation of biologically active triazolothiadiazine‐coumarin hybrid derivatives has been studied. A proficient synthesis offused heterocycles 9 i–wvia dehydrative condensation with cyclization of4‐((4‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl)methyl)‐2‐aryl‐2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐one (5 a‐‐c) and substituted bromoacyl coumarins (8 d‐‐h)has been incorporated in presence of different catalysts including WELPSA, a green catalyst. The in silico docking studies of these previously unknown compounds revealed favorable C score and Chemscore values and the in vitro antifungal assay against three fungal strains showed excellent to good activity.
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.
