In the present work, we have designed and synthesized novel indolyl-4H-chromene-phenylprop-2-en-1-one derivatives (5a–o) using Amberlite SR1L Na (150 mg) as catalyst at 60 °C in DMSO. For the first time, a series of 2-alkoxy-2H-chromen chalcones (3a–h) are prepared by reacting 1-(2-ethoxy-2-methyl-2H-chromen-3yl)ethan-1-one with various substituted aldehydes in the presence of 20% ethanolic sodium hydroxide. After optimizing the reaction conditions, the synthesized chalcones (3a–h) were further reacted with various indoles (4a–b) via regioselective nucleophilic substitution to yield the corresponding derivatives (5a–o) in excellent yields by C[sbnd]C coupling reaction and confirmed by 1H, 13C NMR HRMS and UV–Visible spectroscopy analysis. The employed synthetic route offered several advantages such as simple reaction conditions, easy handling, short reaction time, environmentally benign, and reusability of the catalyst. The synthesized compounds (5a–o) was studied for their solvatochromic property with increasing polarity of solvents. The compounds (5a–o) were evaluated for their antioxidant activity by free radical screening using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Also, their in-vitro antibacterial activity has been investigated against gram positive (S. aureus and B. subtilis) and gram negative bacteria (Klebsiella and E. coli) by agar well technique. Among the compounds employed, 5g and 5h not only showed promising antioxidant activity but also significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus compared to the experimental standards. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Synthesis, antioxidant, antibacterial, solvatochromism and molecular docking studies of indolyl-4H-chromene-phenylprop-2-en-1-one derivatives

A series of alkoxy-substituted 2H-chromenes were synthesized by a one-pot three-component reaction using salicylaldehydes, acetyl acetone and alcohol as reactant and medium with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as catalyst. Simple reaction conditions, short reaction time and overall good yield of products make this synthetic strategy an efficient one to synthesize 2H-chromene molecules. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for antioxidant activities. Among all the new compounds, 5j and 5k showed good inhibition [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) at 100 [Formula: see text] concentrations.

Synthesis of substituted 2H-chromenes by a three-component reaction as potential antioxidants

Microwave-assisted montmorillonite K-10-catalyzed Friedlander synthesis of quinolinylquinolinones has been developed. The efficient and eco-friendly catalyst along with the convenience of the product isolation make this process an attractive alternative for the synthesis of target heterocycles. The synthesized products were confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopic techniques. All the synthesized compounds showed good antibacterial property similar to standard Ampicillin and enhanced antioxidant activity. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

Microwave-assisted solid acid-catalyzed synthesis of quinolinyl quinolinones and evaluation of their antibacterial, antioxidant activities

Solvent-free, microwave-induced condensation of 2-aminoaryl alkyl ketones and ethyl 3-oxobutanoate in the presence of amberlite Na sr1L gave quinolinones in high yield when compared to other catalysts. Further, N-alkylation of the quinolinones was carried out effectively with various halides using amberlite Na sr1L. An N-alkylated quinolinone exhibited enhanced activities against B. subtilis, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa, similar to standard drug ampicillin. Two compounds showed effective activity against S. aureus, and one resulted in moderate activity against E. coli. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
