Vitamin B1 as a metal-ion-free natural catalyst for sustainable quinoxaline ring condensation under sonochemical conditions

The role of vitamin B1 as a catalyst is investigated for the quinoxaline ring condensation under various mild reaction conditions. The results revealed that the combination of vitamin B1 and ultrasonic irradiation promotes the reaction more efficiently. The salient features of this environmentally benign method are fast conversions, excellent yields for a wide range of substrates, and the use of a low-cost, readily available, nontoxic, and metal-ion-free natural catalyst. The wide range of turnover frequency values (6-400 h-1) shows that the reaction rate is highly dependent on the nature of the functional groups on the aromatic ring of substrates. Moreover, a plausible mechanism for the catalytic action of vitamin B1 has been introduced.

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.

A general and inexpensive protocol for the nanomagnetic 5-sulfosalicylic acid catalyzed the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans and quinoxaline derivatives

In this study, a novel acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles with high loaded multifunctional acidic groups was fabricated by anchoring water-soluble 5-sulfosalicylic acid onto the surface silica-modified Fe3O4. The magnetically recyclable Fe3O4@SiO2@5-SA (20?mg) showed excellent reactivity for greener synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans via a three-component reaction of different aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and dimedone in good to excellent yields (70–95percent) in pure water at short reaction times (40–150?min). The method shows eco-friendly synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives from direct condensation of substituted 1,2-diamine with various 1,2-dicarbonyl in ethanol at room temperature to afford the desired quinoxalines with good to excellent yields (60–97percent) at shorter reaction times (120–240?min). The morphology and magnetic properties of MNPs were studied with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier translation infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and thermogravimetric. The results showed that the Fe3O4@SiO2@5-SA catalyst is completely recoverable by an external magnet and retained catalytic activity after five recycles.

Synthesis of a polymer-capped palladium nanoparticles and its application as a reusable catalyst in oxidative coupling reaction of α-hydroxyketones and 1,2-diamines for preparation of pyrazines and quinoxalines

A novel method for the synthesis of pyrazines and quinoxalines has been developed using α-hydroxyketones and 1,2-diamines in the presence of cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine)-stabilized Pd(0) nanoparticles, [P4-VP]-PdNPs. The catalyst was easily prepared and characterized using various techniques such as FT-IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, AAS, TEM, FESEM, EDX analysis and XRD. The results confirm a good dispersion of palladium nanoparticles on the polymer support. The catalyst displayed good catalytic activity when applied to the synthesis of quinoxalines via condensation of α-hydroxyketones with 1,2-diamines. A few pyrazine derivatives and various quinoxalines are prepared via coupling reaction of α-hydroxyketones and 1,2-diamines in high–excellent yields (81–99%) with short reaction times. The quinoxalines products were characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and the physical properties were compared to the literature values of known compounds. The advantages of the present method over conventional classical methods are rapid and very simple work-up, and the catalyst is reusable many times without a significant loss in its activity.

A broad range of substrates was applied to this method, and target compounds were obtained with good yields.

All reactions are performed under mild reaction conditions with high to excellent yields. The method is applicable to aromatic, unsaturated and hetero aromatic aldehydes. The advantages of this method are short reaction times, milder conditions, easy work-up, solvent-free conditions and catalyst reusability.

This environmentally benign method provides several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, good to excellent yields, short reaction times, simple work-up and catalyst stability, easy preparation, heterogeneous nature and easy separation of the catalyst. Also, nanocatalyst can be easily recovered by a magnetic field and reused for the next reactions for at least 6 times without distinct deterioration in catalytic activity.

Furthermore, antifungal activity of various derivatives against three phytopathogenic fungi (Alternaria alternata, Pyricularia oryzae, and Alternaria brassicae) was investigated.
