Efficient synthesis of novel bis(dihydropyrano[2,3c]pyrazoles), bis(4H-chromenes) and bis(dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromenes) with amide functionality

A synthesis of novel bis(1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitriles), bis(4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles) and bis(dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromenes), which are linked to aliphatic spacers via amide linkages was achieved via multicomponent reactions (MCR) of the appropriate bis-aldehyde with two equivalents of both of malononitrile and 3-methylpyrazol-5-one, dimedone or 4-hydroxycoumarin in a basic solution

New Azacycles by One-Pot Three-Component Hantzsch-Like Synthesis of Tetra(hexa)azacyclopenta[a]anthracenes, Tetraazaindeno[5,4-b]fluorenes, and Oxatetraazacyclopenta[m]tetraphenes

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are envisaged as an entry point for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with interesting biological activities. An efficient approach to annelated tetra(hexa)azacyclopenta[a]anthracenes, tetraazaindeno[5,4-b]fluorenes, and oxatetraazacyclopenta[m]tetraphene was accomplished using a three-component reaction involving 7-amino-2-methyl-3-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-one with aromatic aldehydes and the corresponding active 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (namely, dimedone, 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid, 1,3-indanedione, and 4-hydroxycoumarine). The reactions were conducted in glacial acetic acid at reflux for 5 h to give the desired products in good yields (62–83 %). The chemical constitutions of all new products were confirmed spectroscopically

An efficient one-pot three-component synthesis of tetrakis(uracil) and their corresponding bis-fused derivatives

A concise and efficient approach to tetrakis(uracil) derivatives by the reaction of bis(aldehydes) with four equivalents of 6-aminouracil is reported. Also, the synthesis of bis(pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolones) and bis(indeno-[2',1':5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine) derivatives has been accomplished by a three-component reaction involving bis(aldehydes), 6-aminouracil and the appropriate cyclic 1,3-diketone.
