“…One of the strategies enhancing biochemical activity of azolo [1,5-a]pyrimidines is introduction of functional groups responsible for solubility and transport into their pharmacophore nucleus. [1,16] In this study, we wish to report ultrasound-and microwave-assisted one-pot cascade synthesis of macroheterocyclic 1-phenyl-2-(21-phenyl-10,11,13,14,20,20a-hexahydro-4aH-dibenzo-[13,14:8,9] [1,4,7] trioxacyclotetradecino [11,10-e]azolo [1,5-a]pyrimidin-20-yl)-1-ethanones. US and MV irradiation of the reaction mixtures under alkaline catalysis was found to promote a significant reduction of the reaction times (from 35 to 2 hours) and shift of the equilibrium in favor of 6,7-dihydroazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine crownophanes in excellent yields (from 18 [24] to 75 %).…”
