ABSTRACT: A water-mediated and catalyst-free simple protocol for easily accessing a huge array of pharmaceutically interesting and diversely functionalized 5-alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl-10-alkyl/aryl-2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)-dione derivatives 4 (4-1−4-42) and 5,5′-(1,4-phenylene)bis(10-alkyl/aryl-2,8dioxo/dithioxo-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)-dione) 4′ (4′-1−4′-8) has been developed based on a one-pot multicomponent reaction between barbituric/N,N-dimethylbarbituric/2-thiobarbituric acids (1), substituted amines (2), and aldehydes (3) under ambient conditions. The salient features of this protocol are the clean reaction profile, use of no added catalyst, water as reaction media, mild reaction conditions at room temperature, energyefficiency, easy isolation of products, no need of column chromatographic purification, high atom-economy and low E-factor, good to excellent yields, and reusability of reaction media.

spectrum of promising biological activities.22−29 Among various tricyclic pyrimidopyridopyrimidines, the pyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine scaffold has attracted much attention because a handful of such derivatives possess considerable α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity,30 antibacterial,31,32 antiviral,33 NAD-type redox catalytic,34 and anticorrosive35,36 properties. In addition, such a scaffold has been reported to have the potential in self-assembling to constitute supramolecular structure as well.37 Literature surveys revealed that there are a number of methods for the synthesis of N 10 -unsubstituted 9,10dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraones using a variety of catalysts such as DBU,38 SBA-15-SO3H,39 [H-NMP]+[HSO4]−,32 γ-Fe2O3@ HAp-SO3H,40 nano-CuFe2O4,41−43 nano-Fe3O4,44 and these protocols required the use of organic solvents, heating, and/or refluxing, microwave irradiation, and ultrasound irradiation.

INTRODUCTION Heterocyclic moieties, particularly polyfunctionalized heterocycles (PFHs), are widely prevalent in bioactive natural products as well as in marketed pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and many other application-oriented materials.1−7 Hence, research on the synthesis of PFHs has gained special attention. Among N-heterocycles, pyrimidine and its derivatives are reported for a wide range of biological profiles including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor activity.8−12 Categorically, barbituric/2-thiobarbituric acids, an important class of pharmaceutically promising pyrimidine derivatives, find potential applications as building blocks for a series of barbiturate/ thiobarbiturate drugs used as hypnotics, sedatives, anticonvulsants, anesthetics, antioxidants, antifungal, and as CNS depressants.13−21 Combination of barbituric/thiobarbituric acid moiety with other pharmacophoric groups, thus, may offer a possibility to synthesize numerous derivatives with desired potential biological effects. With this view, pyrimidinefused pyridines, especially pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, have been studied intensively over the recent past due to their wide © 2017 American Chemical Society

However, syntheses of N10-substituted dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5d′]dipyrimidines were reported only by the research group of Khalafi-Nezhad from the three-component condensation reaction of barbituric acids, anilines, and aromatic aldehydes or sugars upon refluxing the reactants in ethanol either in the presence of phosphotungstic acid (TPA)45 or p-toluenesulfonic acid46 or magnetic nanoparticle-supported tungstic acid (MNPTA)47 as the catalyst. Under this purview and in continuation of our endeavors in developing alternative green protocols for biologically relevant compounds,48−60 we herein wish to report a water-mediated, convenient, and catalyst-free practical method for the synthesis of a huge array of functionalized 5alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl-10-alkyl/aryl-2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,10dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)dione derivatives (4/4′) from the one-pot multicomponent reaction between barbituric/N,N-dimethylbarbituric/2-thiobarbituric acids (1), diverse amines (2), and aldehydes (3) in water at ambient conditions (25−30 °C); the overall results are summarized in Scheme 1. The key advantages of this newly developed protocol are the clean reaction profile, use of no added catalyst, water as reaction media, mild reaction conditions at room temperature, energy-efficiency, use of commercially available low-cost starting materials, no need of column chromatographic purification, high atom-economy and low E-factor, and good to excellent yields. From green chemistry perspectives, making use of water as a safe and green solvent,61−66 implementation of one-pot multicomponent reaction (MCR) strategy with huge operational benefits,67−72 and enabling useful organic syntheses involving molecular hybridization (MH)73−75 exploiting just ambient reaction conditions76−83 are steps forward toward the cause of green and sustainable chemistry.

This fact demonstrated the effectiveness of water as a suitable medium for this reaction. Compound 4-1 was characterized by its analytical and spectral properties.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Based on critical survey of the literature on catalyst-free organic transformations coupled with our own experiences in performing this kind of organic syntheses,84,85 we envisioned that such a 9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraone scaffold might be constructed out of a one-pot multicomponent reaction of its starting constituents such as barbituric acid, amine, and aldehyde without the aid of any catalyst in the presence of a suitable solvent. First we checked our model reaction with a mixture of barbituric acid (1-1; 2.0 equiv), aniline (2-1; 1.0 equiv), and 4-nitro9495

trifluoromethylaniline) (1 equiv) and aldehydes (viz. nbutyraldehyde, 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 9-anthracenylaldehyde, 2-/4-fluorobenzaldehyde, terephthalaldehyde) (1 equiv) in water under the catalyst-free conditions just at room temperature. To our delight, all the seven reactions produced the expected products of a new series of substituted 9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8-tetraones (4-21−4-27) (Table 2, entries 21−27) with yields ranging from 62 to 80% within 14−18 h. Encouraged by these results, we then planned to replace barbituric acid/N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid with 2-thiobarbituric acid so as to further extend the applicability of this newly developed protocol in generating 2-thioxo-substituted analogues. For this purpose, we performed a set of three varying reactions (Table 2, entries 28−30) by treating 2-thiobarbituric acid (2 equiv) with three separate reactant mixtures of aniline (2-28; 1 equiv) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (3-28; 1 equiv), 4trifluoromethylaniline (2-29; 1 equiv) and 2-furaldehyde (3-29; 1 equiv), and 4-trifluoromethoxyaniline (2-30; 1 equiv) and 4bromobenzaldehyde (3-30; 1 equiv) in water under the same reaction conditions, and we were delighted to obtain the respective desired products, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-10-phenyl2,8-dithioxo-2,3,7,8,9,10-hexahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (4-28), 5-(furan-2-yl)-2,8-dithioxo-10-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,3,7,8,9,10-hexahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (4-29) and 5-(4-bromophenyl)-2,8-dithioxo-10-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2,3,7,8,9,10-hexahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (4-30) with 83%, 75%, and 78% yields, respectively, within 14−16 h. We, furthermore, utilized the optimized reaction conditions to synthesize a series of 12 more new 5-aryl-2,8-dithioxo-10-alkyl/aryl-2,3,7,8,9,10hexahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione derivatives (4-31−4-42) (Table 2, entries 31−42) from the one-pot reaction of 2-thiobarbituric acid (2 equiv) with a varying range of aliphatic/aromatic amines (2; 1 equiv) and aldehydes (3; 1 equiv) in aqueous medium without the aid of any catalyst under ambient conditions. All the reactions were successfully completed furnishing the expected products 4-31− 4-42 (Table 2, entries 31−42) with good yields ranging from 67 to 81% within 14−18 h. The overall results are summarized in Table 2. With this successful background, we were motivated to study the present protocol whether capable to furnish 5,5′-(1,4phenylene)bis(10-alkyl/aryl-2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)-dione) scaffold upon reaction with bis-carboxyaldehyde such as phthalaldehyde, isophthalaldehyde, and terephthalaldehyde. Accordingly, we performed the reaction between barbituric acid (4 equiv), an amine (2 equiv), and bis-carboxyaldehyde (1 equiv) in aqueous medium at ambient conditions and observed that both phthalaldehyde and isophthalaldehyde did not undergo any reaction (possibly due to steric crowding), while terephthalaldehyde produced the desired bis-9,10dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine scaffold (4′) satisfactorily. We performed a set of eight such one-pot multicomponent reactions between barbituric acid/N,N-dimethylbarbiturc acid/2-thiobarbituric acid (4 equiv), substituted aliphatic/aromatic amines (2 equiv), and terephthalaldehyde (4-formylbenzaldehyde; 1 equiv) in water at room temperature

generality as well as the effectiveness of this newly developed protocol, barbituric acid was reacted with diverse aromatic amines (bearing substituents like bromo, trifluoromethyl, methoxyl, and trifluoromethoxyl at varying positions) and aromatic aldehydes containing the functionalities such as bromo, chloro, cyano, trifluoromethyl, mono-, di- and trimethoxyls, and nitro using identical reaction conditions. All of these varying 12 entries underwent the reaction smoothly affording the corresponding 5,10-diaryl-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraones (44−4-15) (Table 2, entries 4−15) in good to excellent yields ranging from 57 to 93% at room temperature within 10−16 h. The variation in the yields of these products (4-1−4-15) indicates that the presence of an electron-withdrawing function in the reacting aldehyde and an electron-releasing function in amine substrate facilitates the reaction as expected. Formation of 10-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraone (4-14; Table 2, entry 14) in somewhat moderate yield of 57% at 16 h could be rationalized from the fact that the 4-CF3 substituent offers a strong electronwithdrawing effect on the amine, while 3,4,5-trimethoxyl moiety also imposes some steric constraint toward the reactivity of the aldehyde. A similar situation also prevails for entry 15 where 4-OCF3 group reduces the reactivity of the amine (2-15) by imposing a strong electron-withdrawing effect, and the reactivity of the aldehyde (3-15) is retarded by steric crowding offered by its 3,4-dimethoxyl substituents, giving a yield of 60% for 5-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-10-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraone (4-15). Under the same reaction conditions, aliphatic amines such as n-propyl amine (2-16) and n-hexylamine (2-17) also reacted smoothly with barbituric acid and 2-/3-nitrobenzaldehydes affording the respective desired products, 5-(2-nitrophenyl)-10propyl-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraone (4-16; Table 2, entry 16) and 10hexyl-5-(3-nitrophenyl)-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraone (4-17; Table 2, entry 17) with moderate yields of 63−66% at 12 h. Then we thought about amino acid as an interesting variant of aliphatic/ aromatic amines, and we were delighted to synthesize 3-(4hydroxyphenyl)-2-(5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-octahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidin10(5H)-yl)propanoic acid (4-18; Table 2, entry 18) from the reaction of L-tyrosine (2-18) with the mixture of barbituric acid and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in water at ambient conditions in 70% yield at 16 h. In another two occasions, when terephthalaldehyde (4-formylbenzaldehyde) was reacted with barbituric acid and substituted amines under these reaction conditions, we isolated the corresponding products 4-19 (82% at 12 h; Table 2, entry 19) and 4-20 (77% at 14 h; Table 2, entry 20) with the 4-formyl group intact in their molecular structures. Such novel series of compounds with free formyl group are of much chemical interest. Inspired by these results, we then replaced unsubstituted barbituric acid with N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid and carried out a set of seven different reactions upon treating this substituted barbituric acid (2 equiv) with diverse amines (viz. 4(methylthio)aniline, L-alanine, L-tyrosine, D-glucosamine, 49497

without the aid of any added catalyst. To our delight that in all these eight occasions we were successful in isolating the respective desired products of 5,5′-(1,4-phenylene)bis(10alkyl/aryl-2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)-dione) (4′-1−4′-8) with good yields ranging from 75 to 83% within 14−18 h. The overall results are summarized in Table 3.

All the products (4-1−4-42 and 4′-1−4′-8) were isolated pure just by washing with cold aqueous ethanol. All the isolated products are new and were fully characterized on the basis of their analytical data and detailed spectral studies including FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and DEPT-135. We herein propose a possible mechanism (Scheme 2) for the water-mediated one-pot synthesis of diversely substituted 5alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl-10-alkyl/aryl-2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,109498

Reaction conditions: barbituric acid/N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid/2-thiobarbituric acid (1; 20 mmol), amines (2; 10 mmol), and aldehydes (3; 10 mmol) in 15 mL of water at room temperature in the absence of any catalyst/additive. bIsolated yields.

dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)diones (4) from pseudo-six-component reaction of barbituric acids (1), amines (2), and aldehydes (3), based on pH monitoring throughout the progress of the reaction as well as isolation and characterization of respective intermediates 7 and 9 for a representative entry (entry 5, Table 2). We successfully isolated and characterized (see Experimental Section) the enamine derivative, 6-((4-bromophenyl)amino)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (7-5; yield 77%) from the reaction of barbituric acid (1-5; 1 equiv) and 4-bromoaniline (2-5; 1 equiv), and also the chalcone derivative, 4-((2,4,6-trioxotetrahydropyrimidin5(2H)-ylidene)methyl)benzonitrile (9-5; yield 71%) from the reaction of barbituric acid (1-5; 1 equiv) and 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (3-5; 1 equiv) in aqueous medium at ambient conditions without the aid of any added catalyst. In the next step, these isolated intermediates 7-5 and 9-5 upon mixing and stirring together in water produced the desired product, 4-(10-(4br omophenyl)-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8,9,10decahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidin-5-yl)benzonitrile (45) under the same reaction conditions. The results of pH monitoring throughout the progress of this representative entry 5 are quite logical with the proposed paththe first molecule of barbituric acid (1-5; 0.5 mmol) in 2 mL of distilled water recorded a pH of 2.57 that shifted to 2.93 on addition of 4-bromoaniline (2-5; 0.5 mmol) to it. Such an acidic pH of the reaction mixture facilitates formation of the corresponding imine 6 (6-5) through a condensation reaction between 1-5 and 2-5. The imine, thus formed, then tautomerizes to enamine 7 (7-5). In another step, the second molecule of barbituric acid (1-5; 0.5 mmol) in 2 mL of distilled water when added with 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (3-5; 0.5 mmol) recorded a pH of 1.44, and under this acidic condition, the equilibrium is shifted toward the enol form (1′), which takes part in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation with the activated aldehyde 3 to generate chalcone 9. Once enamine 7 and chalcone 9 species are formed, they mutually undergo Michael addition to produce the adduct 10, which subsequently tautomerizes to intermediate 11. Under acidic pH of the reaction media, this Michael adduct 11 then takes part in a facile intramolecular ring-closure via 6-exo-trig process to generate the cycloadduct 12 that eventually furnishes the desired product 4 on removal of water as a green waste (Scheme 2). We also examined the feasibility of this method for somewhat scaled-up (on the gram scale; 10 mmol scale) experiment with three varying entries (Table 4; entries 1−3) at room

temperature in aqueous medium under catalyst-free conditions. All the three varying barbituric acids underwent 10 mmol scale reactions smoothly with three different sets of amines and aldehydes to furnish the respective desired products, viz. 5-(4nitrophenyl)-10-(p-tolyl)-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraone (4-2), 2-(5-(anthracen-9-yl)-1,3,7,9-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-octahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidin10(5H)-yl)propanoic acid (4-22), and 5-(furan-2-yl)-2,8dithioxo-10-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,3,7,8,9,10hexahydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (4-29), in 88%, 73%, and 74% respective isolated yields; the product-yields of these large-scale reactions are almost similar to 0.5 mmol scale entry (Table 2, entries 2, 22, and 29) in terms of respective yield and time. This experimental outcome is quite promising for possible application of this catalyst-free room temperature protocol in large-scale production of such biologically relevant heterocycles. This is also to be mentioned herein that the washings collected upon filtration and purification of isolated products can be reused for individual cases. We performed a representative recycling experiment with such washings obtained during the large-scale synthesis of 5-(4-nitrophenyl)10-(p-tolyl)-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine2,4,6,8(1H,3H, 5H, 7H)-tetraone (4-2; Table 4, entry 1)the collective washings containing the residual reactants and certain portions of the product as washed out with ethanol−water on purification was made an optimum volume of about 15 mL each time (by distilling out ethanol and excess amount of water) to run the next batch of reaction upon adding the requisite reactants [barbituric acid (1; 20 mmol), 4-methylamine (2; 10 mmol), and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (3; 10 mmol)]. We carried out this representative recycling experiment with this entry (Table 4, entry 1) four times, and the desired product 4-2 was isolated in almost identical yield (88−91%) in all the runs. We evaluated green chemistry credentials of this newly developed one-pot synthetic protocol by performing a series of green metrics calculations86−93 such as effective mass yield (EMY), atom economy (AE), atom efficiency (AEf), carbon efficiency (CE), reaction mass efficiency (RME), optimum efficiency (OE), mass productivity (MP), mass intensity (MI) and process mass intensity (PMI), E-factor, and solvent and water intensity (SI and WI) for all the synthesized compounds 4 (4-1−4-42) and 4′ (4′-1−4′-8) (see the Supporting Information).

mixture was added with another portion of barbituric/N,Ndimethylbarbituric/2-thiobarbituric acid (1; 0.5 mmol), aldehydes (3; 0.5 mmol in case of 4 and 0.25 mmol in case of 4′), and 2 mL of distilled water in a sequential manner at ambient conditions. The overall reaction mixture was then stirred vigorously for the stipulated time frame (10−18 h). The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC.

economy, and atom efficiency for the method amounts to up to 83.93%, 91.79%, and 84.02%, respectively. The calculated carbon efficiency (56.0−94.0%) for this process is also quite good. As reaction mass efficiency (RME) includes all reactant mass, yield, and atom economy, it is the most useful metric to determine the greenness of a process. Calculations of RME (51.79−83.93%) also indicate the excellent green credential of the present method. Similarly, process mass intensity (PMI) evaluation (74.26−41.28 g/g) also corroborate this fact. The calculated E-factors (g/g) are found to be in the range of 0.93− 0.19, which are indicative of the considerable greenness of this present method; the respective E-factor for each entry is shown in Tables 2 and 3. All other parameters have also been found to be in order. Respective data and their calculations for all the entries are given in the Supporting Information. In conclusion, we have developed a simple, catalyst-free, water-mediated, energy-efficient, conveniently practical, alternative, green method for easy access to a huge range of biologically interesting diverse and functionalized 5-alkyl/aryl/ heteroaryl-10-alkyl/aryl-2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)-dione derivatives 4 (4-1−4-42) and 5,5′-(1,4-phenylene)bis(10-alkyl/aryl2,8-dioxo/dithioxo-9,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d′]dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H,5H,7H)-dione) 4′ (4′-1−4′-8) from the one-pot pseudo-six component reaction between barbituric/ 2-thiobarbituric acids (1), substituted amines (2), and aldehydes (3) in aqueous medium at room temperature. The key advantages of this present protocol include mild reaction conditions at room temperature, avoidance of catalyst, use of water as reaction media, operational simplicity and clean reaction profiles, energy-efficiency, use of commercially available low-cost starting materials, ease of product isolation/ purification without the aid of tedious column chromatography, good to excellent yields, and high atom-economy and low Efactor, thereby satisfying the triple bottom line philosophy of green and sustainable chemistry.94 Moreover, reusability of the reaction media and the feasibility of gram-scale synthesis are the added advantages to this protocol. The present method satisfies green credentials. Keeping in view the synthetic importance of such biologically relevant multiheterocentric organic scaffolds, the present catalyst-free methodology with mild reaction conditions and operational simplicity offers the possibility of its use with cost-effective and environmentally friendlier methods for large-scale syntheses, as well.
