Abstract

3H-pyrano[3,2-f]quinoline-3-one, 4-methyl-4,7-phen­anthrolin-3(4H)-one, and 1,3-dimethylpyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione derivatives have been synthesized by hitherto unreported silver-catalyzed 6-endo-dig mode of cycloisomerization from various N-propargylated heterocyclic compounds. The silver-catalyzed reaction provides the synthesis of potential bioactive compounds in excellent yields.

Synthesis of 4,10-Dimethyl-4,7-phenanthrolin-3 (4 H )-one (4d) To a stirred solution of AgSbF6 (7.6 mg, 0.022 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL), 6-(but-2-ynylamino)-1-methylquinolin-2 (1H)-one (3d, 50 mg, 0.22 mmol) was added at r.t. and stirred at 110 ˚C for 45 min to complete the reaction (as monitored by TLC). The light green colored reaction mixture was cooled and neutralized with sat. NaHCO3 solution. This was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL). The combined organic extract was washed with brine and dried over (Na2SO4). The solvent was distilled off. The resulting crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (60-120 mesh) using PE-EtOAc mixture (3:2) as an eluent to give the product 4d. Yield 96%, yellow solid, mp 172 ˚C.
