A simple and facile strategy was developed involving test tube with glass-rod using a base catalyst for
one-pot solid-state reaction between 1,3,5-triphenyl-pentane-1,5-dione (1) and 1,5-diphenyl-penta-
1,4-dien-3-one (2) to obtain novel 1-(5-benzoyl-2-hydroxy-2,4,6-triphenyl-cyclohexyl)-3-phenylpropenone
(3) derivatives. The reaction was accomplished in good to excellent yields and the structure
of a synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral data. In this one-pot
transformation, the column chromatography purification was completely avoided. Besides, the method
is highly environmentally benign and atom-economical, and the side product of this reaction was only
the water molecule. This green process produces significant carbocycles and offers a considerable
advantages such as operational simplicity, short reaction time, high yields, and absence of tedious
workup. Further, synthesized derivatives was studied against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus)
and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
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.
