Abstract
An efficient synthesis of Chromeno[b]pyrimidine derivatives 4 has been achieved by treating 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one 1, furan-2-carbaldehyde / 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde/ thiophene-2- carbaldehyde 2, and urea/thiourea 3 at 65-70 °C for 90-120 min using 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate as ionic liquid and medium with good yields 86-90%. This synthetic method has numerous advantages, including high yields, a simple protocol, environmental friendliness, brief reaction times, and mild reaction conditions. Using a catalytically active ionic liquid as the medium eliminates the need for a catalyst and a solvent. In this study, the docking score of the synthesized compounds was found to be between -8 to -9 kcal/mol similar to the co-crystal. Additionally, the compounds maintained their amino acid interactions with Tyr 281 (coagulation protein; 6WV3) and Thr 179 (tubulin polymerization protein; 5LYJ.pdb).
