________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: An ultrasound-assisted highly efficient, simple, and straightforward protocol for one-pot

synthesis of a new series of pharmaceutically relevant and diversely functionalized 7aryl/heteroarylchromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones (4) has been developed based on a three-component tandem reaction between 4-hydroxycoumarin (1), substituted aromatic aldehydes (2), and 2-aminopyridines (3) in the presence of sulfamic acid as a lowcost and eco-friendly solid acid-catalyst in aqueous ethanol at ambient conditions. Expedient metal-free synthesis, good to excellent yields, energy-efficiency, use of aqueous ethanol as reaction medium, easy isolation of products, no need of column chromatographic purification, high atom-economy and low E-factor, high turnover number (TON), ecofriendliness, and operational simplicity are some of the salient features of this newly developed protocol.

application-oriented materials.1-4 Hence, research on the design and syntheses of new series of polyfunctionalized heterocycles is a topic of potential interest. Among O-heterocycles, natural coumarins and their synthetic analogs are widely known for their diverse array of significant pharmacological and biological properties.5-7 This privileged structural motif remains at the core of many useful antibiotics, such as novobiocin, coumermycin A1 and chlorobiocin,8 and serves as a valuable source of lead compounds for the design and development of effective antimicrobial and antifungal therapy drugs.9 The prospective role of coumarin derivatives as potential therapeutic candidates in the field of antioxidant,10 anticoagulant,11

has also been documented in

the recent literatures.20,21 Similarly, pyrimidines are an important class of N-heterocycles, very much well-known for their potential applications both in the field of chemistry and biology.22,23 As part of our ongoing endeavors in designing and developing green protocols for biologically relevant heterocycles,24-39 we undertook a dedicated endeavor to construct a new polyfunctionalized heterocyclic architecture bearing both these two privileged scaffolds in combination with a view to impose somewhat extended biological and material properties, by designing an efficient and eco-friendly protocol! Accordingly, we have now been successful in developing an ultrasound-assisted facile and expedient method for the synthesis of a new series of diversely substituted 7-aryl/heteroaryl-chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin6(7H)-ones (4) from a one-pot three-component reaction between 4-hydroxycoumarin (1), substituted aromatic aldehydes (2) and 2-aminopyridines (3) using sulfamic acid as an ecofriendly solid acid-catalyst in aqueous ethanol (1:1) at ambient conditions (28-30 C) (Scheme 1). The key advantages of this newly developed protocol are use of commercially available low-cost starting materials and nontoxic catalyst, metal-free synthesis, aqueous ethanol as reaction media, energy-efficiency, short reaction times, no column chromatography, good to excellent yields, low E-factor, high atom-economy, and high turnover number (TON). Ultrasound irradiation is, now-a-days, regarded as a very useful tool in enhancing the reaction rates, and is widely used in chemical transformations as it is associated with a number of benefits such as safety, energy savings, waste prevention, the use of ambient conditions, and the improvement in the mass transfer and product selectivity.40-44 The use of aqueous ethanol as safe and green solvent,45-48 metal-free synthesis,49-51 good use of green tools like ultrasonication,52,53 and optimum exploitations of the goodness of one-pot multicomponent reaction (MCR) strategy,54-58 molecular hybridization (MH) technique59,60 and ambient reaction conditions61-63 are, thus, the steps forward to the cause of green and sustainable chemistry.

Scheme 1. Ultrasound-assisted one-pot synthesis of a new series of diversely substituted 7aryl/heteroaryl-chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones (4) under sulfamic acid catalysis at ambient conditions

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION From relevant literature survey coupled with our own experiences in designating heterocyclic compounds, we envisioned that such a chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one moiety might be designed out of a one-pot multicomponent reaction of its starting constituents such as 4-hydroxycoumarin, aldehyde, and 2-aminopyridine under some suitable reaction conditions. Accordingly, we primarily carried out a series of trial reactions of 4hydroxycoumarin (1-1; 1.0 equiv), 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (2-1; 1.0 equiv) and 2-aminopyridine (3-1; 1.0 equiv) under varying reaction conditions (Table 1). The best result (Table 1, entry 5) was observed when 20 mol% of sulfamic acid was used as catalyst in aqueous ethanol (1: 1; v/v) under ultrasound irradiation (130 W, 20 kHz at 40% amplitude) at ambient conditions to furnish the desired product, 7-(4-nitrophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)one (4-1) in a 96% yield just at 22 min; the isolate was characterized by its elemental and spectral (FT-IR, 1H-NMR and

13

C-NMR) studies. The overall results are documented in

Table 1.

Reaction conditions: 4-hydroxycoumarin (0.25 mmol), 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (0.25 mmol), and 2-aminopyridine (0.25 mmol), in 3 mL of water/water-ethanol in the presence or absence of catalyst under ultrasound irradiation (US; 130 W, 20 kHz at 40% amplitude)/ reflux (80 C)/room temperature (rt; 28-30 C). bIsolated yields.

Under the optimized experimental conditions, we then performed a set of five reactions between 4-hydroxycoumarin (1-1; 0.25 mmol), benzaldehyde (2-2; 0.25 mmol)/2fluorobenzaldehyde

fluorobenzaldehyde (2-5; 0.25 mmol)/4-bromobenzaldehyde (2-6; 0.25 mmol), and 2aminopyridine (3-1; 0.25 mmol); all the reactions took place smoothly producing the desired products, viz. 7-phenylchromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-2) (Table 2, entry 2), 7-(2-fluorophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-3) (Table 2, entry 3), 7-(3-chlorophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-4) (Table 2, entry 4), 7-(4-fluorophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (45) (Table 2, entry 5), 7-(4-bromophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-6) (Table 2, entry 6) in 91, 96, 93, 92 and 91% yield, respectively, within 8–11 min. To explore the credibility of the present method, the combination of 4-hydroxycoumarin and 2aminopyridine was reacted with diverse aromatic aldehydes bearing the functionalities such 4

as cyano, methyl, trifluoromethyl, N,N-dimethylamino, dichloro, mono- and dihydroxyl, mono- and dimethoxyls, methylenedioxyl and hydroxy-methoxyl using identical reaction conditions. All the reactions took place satisfactorily and generated the corresponding 7substituted chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones (4-7−4-18) (Table 2, entries 7−18) in good to excellent yields ranging from 70 to 97% under ultrasound assistance at ambient conditions within 8−32 min. It is evident from the variation of product-yields (47−4-18) that the presence of an electron-withdrawing group in the reacting aldehyde facilitates the reaction as expected; a somewhat relatively lower yield of 70% for 4-13 was isolated in case of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (with an electron-releasing function) at comparatively longer time of 32 min. To our delight, 2-furylaldehyde (2-19) also took part in the reaction yielding 92% of the desired product, 7-(furan-2-yl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-19) within 8 min. With these fruitful experimental outcomes, we then checked whether the present protocol is eligible to generate bis(chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)one)

such

as

isophthalaldehyde, and terephthalaldehyde. Hence, we carried out the reaction between 4hydroxycoumarin (2.0 equiv), 2-aminopyridine (2.0 equiv) and bis-carboxyaldehyde (1.0 equiv) in aqueous ethanol containing 20 mol% of sulfamic acid as catalyst under ultrasound irradiation at ambient conditions; both phthalaldehyde and isophthalaldehyde were found not to take part in the reaction (possibly due to steric crowding), while terephthalaldehyde gave only the chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one scaffold [viz. 4-(6-oxo-6,7dihydrochromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)benzaldehyde 4-20; 96% yield within 15 min] keeping the second carboxyaldehyde (CHO) function intact. This is a very interesting observation, indeed, and the present protocol thus offers a way to synthesize functionalized chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one scaffolds having a carboxyaldehyde group within the framework. Encouraged by these results, we carried out our model reaction just replacing 2aminopyridine with 4-methyl-2-aminopyridine under the identical reaction conditions in the presence of 20 mol% sulfamic acid as catalyst, and obtained the desired product, 11-methyl7-(4-nitrophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-21), with 95% yield at 7 min. A set of seven such reactions with varying aromatic aldehydes with electrondonating and –withdrawing substituents were then performed under the identical reaction conditions; all the reactions (Table 2; entries 22-28) took place efficiently affording 5

substituted chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones (4-22 - 4-28) in 74-95% yields within 4-35 min. Herein also 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzaldehyde required relatively a longer time of 35 min to complete the reaction (Table 2; entry 23). 2-Furylaldehyde and terephthalaldehyde were also found to furnish the desired products,

7-(furan-2-yl)-11-

methylchromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-29; 81% yield at 6 min) and 4(11-methyl-6-oxo-6,7-dihydrochromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)benzaldehyde (430; 91% yield at 4.5 min), respectively. The overall results are summarized in Table 2. All the products (4-1 - 4-30) were isolated as pure upon filtration of the resulting reaction mixture added with 2 mL of distilled water. All of them are new and were fully characterized based on their analytical data and detailed spectral studies including FTIR, 1H NMR, NMR, and DEPT-135.

We herein propose a possible mechanism (Scheme 2) for the ultrasound-assisted sulfamic acid-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of diversely substituted 7-aryl/heteroarylchromeno[4,3d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones

(4)

from

three-component

reaction

of

4-

hydroxycoumarin (1), aromatic aldehydes (2) and 2-aminopyridine (3) in aqueous ethanol. To get an idea about the initial start-up reaction, we performed a set of two separate reactions between 4-hydroxycoumarin (1; 1.0 equiv) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (2-1; 1.0 equiv), and 4nitrobenzaldehyde (2-1; 1.0 equiv) and 2-aminopyrine (3-1; 1.0 equiv) using 20 mol% sulfamic acid as catalyst in 3 mL of aqueous ethanol (1:1) under the influence of ultrasound. We observed that the later reaction (i.e. reaction between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2aminopyridine) did not occur, but the former proceeded rapidly yielding a bis-courmarin derivative [viz. 3,3'-((4-nitrophenyl)methylene)bis(4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one] as the product; the reaction is so fast that we could not isolate the proposed intermediate 6. However, in the presence of 2-aminopyridine (3-1; 1.0 equiv; three-component one-pot reaction) we isolated our desired product 4 instead of a trace amount of bis-coumarin. Based on these experimental outcomes, we hereby proposed that sulfamic acid-activated aldehyde (2) initially undergoes Claisen-Schmidt condensation with 4-hydroxycoumarin (1) in aqueous ethanol under the influence of ultrasound to form a chalcone intermediate 6 (could not be isolated) that is immediately attacked by the nucleophile, 2-aminopyridine (3), through its ring-nitrogen to generate adduct 7. Compound 7 then tautomerizes to 7′, which in turn, participates in a facile intramolecular 6-exo-trig ring-closure under the reaction conditions to generate the cycloadduct 8 (the catalyst is also regenerated in this step) that eventually furnishes the desired product 4 on elimination of water as a green waste (Scheme 2).

Scheme 2: Proposed mechanism for the ultrasound-assisted sulfamic acid-catalyzed threecomponent one-pot synthesis of substituted chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)ones (4) at ambient conditions We performed a gram-scale (5 mmol scale) experiment with our model reaction (Table 2; entry 1) in aqueous ethanol under the catalytic influence of sulfamic acid at ambient conditions;

7-(4-

nitrophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-1), in 91% yield at 25 min. To our delight, the experimental outcomes are almost similar with small-scale (0.25 mmol scale) entry (Table 2, entry 1). In addition, the filtrate containing residual reactants, catalyst and solvent obtained from the final reaction mixture was successfully reused up to the second run in the case of two representative entries (Table 2, entry 1 and 2), viz., reaction between 4-hydroxycoumarin, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde/benzaldehyde, and 2-aminopyridine. The respective desired products, 7-(4-nitrophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)one (4-1) and 7-phenylchromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one (4-2), were isolated in 86% and 80% yields, respectively, within almost the same time-frame but with somewhat reduced yields compared to the 1st runs. To evaluate green chemistry credentials of this newly developed synthetic method, we estimated diverse green metrics based on the well-established working formulas.64-72 The calculated green credential indices include effective mass yield (EMY), atom economy (AE), atom efficiency (AEf), carbon efficiency (CE), reaction mass efficiency (RME), optimum 10

efficiency (OE), mass productivity (MP), mass intensity (MI) and process mass intensity (PMI), E-factor, solvent and water intensity (SI and WI), turn over number (TON) and turn over frequency (TOF) for all the synthesized compounds 4 (4-1‒4-30) both for the 1st and 2nd run (see Supporting Information). The calculated effective mass yield, atom economy and atom efficiency for the method measures to up to 86.73%, 91.89% and 87.98%, respectively. The process shows a good profile of calculated carbon efficiency (72.0 to 96.0%). Reaction mass efficiency (RME) is regarded as the most useful metric to determine the greenness of a process; calculations of RME (63.37 to 86.73% for 1st run, and 60.38 to 82.52% for 2nd run) also support excellent green credential of the present method. Similarly, process mass intensity (PMI) evaluation (73.14 to 49.39 g/g for 1st run, and 73.22 to 49.44 g/g for 2nd run) also corroborates with this fact. The calculated E-factors (g/g) range from 0.58 to 0.15 for 1st run and 0.66 to 0.21 for 2nd run, which convincingly indicate considerable green features of this present method. The turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF min1) for all the products were found to be in the range of 3.6 to 4.8, and 1.15 to 0.11 min1, respectively. All other estimated parameters are quite in order. The Supporting Information of this article embodies respective green metrics data for all the entries and also their calculations in case of a representative example.

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have developed an ultrasound-assisted facile, rapid, and highly efficient green synthetic protocol for a new series of pharmaceutically interesting functionalized 7aryl/heteroarylchromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones (4) from the one-pot three component reaction between 4-hydroxycoumarin (1), substituted aromatic aldehydes (2), and 2-aminopyridines (3) in the presence of sulfamic acid as an eco-friendly solid acid-catalyst in aqueous ethanol at ambient conditions. The notable advantages of this present protocol include use of commercially available low-cost starting materials and, eco-friendly catalyst, metal-free one-pot synthesis, energy-efficiency, short reaction times, operational simplicity and

satisfied. Exploration of biological activities of this new series of multi-heterocentric organic scaffolds is now under study in our laboratory. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION General Considerations. Infrared spectra were recorded using a Shimadzu (FT-IR 8400S) FT-IR spectrophotometer using KBr disc. 1H and

13

C NMR spectra were collected at 400

MHz and 100 MHz, respectively, on a Bruker DRX spectrometer using DMSO-d6 as solvent. Sonics made ultrasound probe-sonicator (Model: VCX 130) with a frequency of 20 kHz and energy of 130 W was used for sonication. Elemental analyses were performed with a Perkin Elmer 2400 Series II elemental analyzer instrument. Melting point was recorded on a Chemiline CL-725 melting point apparatus and is uncorrected. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) was performed using silica gel 60 F254 (Merck) plates.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of 7-Aryl/heteroaryl-chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones (4): 4-Hydroxycoumarin (1; 0.25 mmol), aromatic aldehydes (2; 0.25 mmol), 2-aminopyridines (3; 0.25 mmol), sulfamic acid (20 mol%; 0.005 g) and 3 mL of aqueous ethanol (1 : 1 v/v) were transferred to an oven-dried glass-vessel in a sequential manner at ambient conditions, and the reaction mixture was then irradiated with ultrasound (130 W, 20 kHz at 40% amplitude) for stipulated time-frame (4-35 min). The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. On completion of the reaction, 2 mL of distilled water was added to the resulting reaction mixture when a solid mass precipitated out which was filtered off furnishing the desired products 4 (4-1 – 4-30) in pure form. The structure of each compound was confirmed by analytical as well as spectral studies including FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and DEPT-135. The spectral and analytical data of all the compounds (4) are given below: 7-(4-Nitrophenyl)chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Synopsis Ultrasound when joins hands to organocatalysis: An ultrasound-assisted expedient and green synthetic protocol for functionalized chromeno[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones has been achieved under and sulfamic acid-catalysis at ambient conditions.

Green aspects of the process 1. Synthesis of a new series of biologically interesting polyfunctionalized heterocycles via a newly developed advanced synthetic protocol 2. Use of aqueous ethanol as the green solvent 3. Use of sulfamic acid as a low-cost and eco-friendly solid acid-catalyst, thus a metal-free one-pot synthesis 4. No tedious column chromatography was required for purification of synthesized compounds; simple filtration warrants a practical method. 5. Application of US as a green tool to expedite the reaction rate just at ambient conditions (room temperature and pressure) 6. The protocol can be used for large scale synthesis (gram scale) 7. Practically no waste (water is a green waste) and the filtrate can be reused for the next cycle 8. Excellent green chemistry credentials with high atom-economy, low-E-factor, and high turnover number
