Abstract
Aims: Synthesis of 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ones as well as 6H-indeno[ 1,2-b]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrazin-6-one derivatives under greener conditions.
Background: Quinoxaline and related skeletons are very common in naturally occurring bioactive compounds.
Objective: Design a facile, green and organo-catalyzed method for the synthesis of 11H-indeno[ 1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ones as well as 6H-indeno[1,2-b]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrazin-6-one derivatives.
Methods: Both the scaffolds were synthesized via the condensation of ninhydrin and o-phenylenediamines or pyridine-2,3-diamines respectively by using a catalytic amount of mandelic acid as an efficient, commercially available, low cost, organo-catalyst in aqueous ethanol at room temperature.
Results: Mild reaction conditions, use of metal-free organocatalyst, non-toxic solvent, ambient temperature, and no column chromatographic separation are some of the notable advantages of our developed protocol.
Conclusion: In conclusion, we have developed a simple, mild, facile and efficient method for the synthesis of structurally diverse 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one derivatives via the condensation reactions of ninhydrin and various substituted benzene-1,2-diamines using a catalytic amount of mandelic acid as a commercially available metal-free organo-catalyst in aqueous ethanol at room temperature. Under the same optimized reaction conditions, synthesis of 6H-indeno[ 1,2-b]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrazin-6-one derivatives was also accomplished with excellent yields by using pyridine-2,3-diamines instead of o-phenylenediamine.
Keywords: Mandelic acid, 11H-indeno[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-ones, 6H-indeno[1, 2-b]pyrido[3, 2-e]pyrazin-6-ones, sustainable organocatalyst, ninhydrin, organocatalysis.
