Abstract

A microwave-assisted montmorillonite K-10 catalyzed synthesis of pyrrolocoumarins and pyrroloquinolones from acetylenic amine is described. The reaction utilizes montmorillonite K-10 as an inexpensive, recyclable, and environmentally benign acid catalyst. Reactions were completed in few minutes under microwave irradiation and provided excellent yields. The efficient and eco-friendly catalyst and the convenience of the product isolation make the process an attractive alternative for the synthesis of these important heterocycles.
