In water organic synthesis: Introducing itaconic acid as a recyclable acidic promoter for efficient and scalable synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives at room temperature

Substituted quinoxaline derivatives are traditionally synthesized by co-condensation of various starting materials. Herein, we describe a novel environmentally benign in water synthetic route for the synthesis of structurally and electronically diverse ninety quinoxalines with readily available substituted o-phenylenediamine and 1,2-diketones using cheap and biodegradable itaconic acid as a mild acid promotor in 1 hours. The reaction is performed at room temperature, which proceeds through cyclo-condensation reaction followed by obtaining the aforesaid nitrogen-containing heterocyclic adducts without performing the column chromatography up to 96% total yields. The simplicity, high efficiency, and reusable of the catalyst merits this reaction condition as “green synthesis” which enables it to be useful in synthetic transformations upto gram scale level.

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and in silico studies of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors based on quinoxaline scaffold

A quinoxaline scaffold exhibits various bioactivities in pharmacotherapeutic interests. In this research, twelve quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as new acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitors. We found all compounds showed potent inhibitory activity against acetyl-cholinesterase (AChE) with IC50 values of 0.077 to 50.080 μM, along with promising predicted drug-likeness and blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeation. In addition, potent butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 14.91 to 60.95 μM was observed in some compounds. Enzyme kinetic study revealed the most potent compound (6c) as a mixed-type AChE inhibitor. No cytotoxicity from the quinoxaline derivatives was noticed in the human neuroblastoma cell line (SHSY5Y). In silico study suggested the compounds preferred the peripheral anionic site (PAS) to the catalytic anionic site (CAS), which was different from AChE inhibitors (tacrine and galanthamine). We had proposed the molecular design guided for quinoxaline derivatives targeting the PAS site. Therefore, the quinoxaline derivatives could offer the lead for the newly developed candidate as potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Efficient and sustainable Co3O4 nanocages based nickel catalyst: A suitable platform for the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives

Engineered nanocages have emerged at the forefront of nanomaterial investigation as they possess tremendous potential to boost key chemical processes owing to their hollow architectures that can help in achieving high reactivity. With an intention to make profitable use of their morphological features guided chemical activity, we developed dispersable Co3O4 nanocages decorated with nickel nanoparticles for accessing a broad spectrum of pharmaceutically and biologically active N-heterocyclic quinoxaline nuclei using α-dicarbonyls and 1,2-diamines as precursor reagents. For designing Co3O4 nanocages, we employed a simple and scalable method involving Kirkendall effect in which thermal decomposition of Co3[Co(CN)6]2 was carried out thereafter, nanocages were loaded with Ni nanoparticles to obtain the final Ni@Co3O4 catalyst. Results revealed that Ni@Co3O4 catalyst possesses immense potential to accelerate condensation of diamines and di-carbonyls in absence of any additives under mild reaction conditions. The superior catalytic efficiency has been attributed to the hollow architecture of the nanocatalyst comprising of abundant catalytic sites. This protocol exhibits several remarkable attributes such as mild reaction conditions outstanding functional group tolerance, high yield, immense durability and reusability for six subsequent runs.

Iron-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of quinoxalines: Transfer hydrogenative condensation of 2-nitroanilines with vicinal diols

Here, we report iron-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of quinoxalines via transfer hydrogenative condensation of 2-nitroanilines with vicinal diols. The tricarbonyl (η4-cyclopentadienone) iron complex, which is well known as the Kn?lker complex, catalyzed the oxidation of alcohols and the reduction of nitroarenes, and the corresponding carbonyl and 1,2-diaminobenzene intermediates were generated in situ. Trimethylamine N-oxide was used to activate the iron complex. Various unsymmetrical and symmetrical vicinal diols were applied for transfer hydrogenation, resulting in quinoxaline derivatives in 49-98% yields. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on a series of control experiments. The major advantages of this protocol are that no external redox reagents or additional base is needed and that water is liberated as the sole byproduct. This journal is
