INTRODUCTION
Recently, synthesis of tetrahydropyrimidine and their derivatives is of high
interest in organic chemistry. The pyrimidine fragment is present in various biologically
active compounds, many of which have been found use in medical practice1,2. Thus,
recently, much attention has been paid to derivatives of pyrimidine, including their
hydrogenation products. This class of compounds displays wide ranges of biological and
pharmacological properties which show a very similar pharmacological profile to
classical dihydropyridine calcium channel modulators3-12.
Literature survey shows that lots of work has been done for
tetrahydropyrimidines. Many researchers have been synthesized tetrahydropyrimidines
using different methods13-15. Recently, one-pot multicomponent reactions have emerged
as a powerful tool in synthetic organic chemistry because of their significant
advantages16-19. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated facile one-pot synthesis of
polysubstituted-tetrahydropyrimidines under mild and green reaction conditions have
been developed by Kidwai et al.20. Iodine catalyst one pot synthesis of tetrahydro
pyrimidine derivatives have been reported by Veerababurao et al.21.
Molecular docking of tetrhydropyrimidine derivatives have been studied by Sun et
al.22. Ghorai and co-workers have reported a convenient synthetic route to 2-aryl-N-
tosylazetidines and their ZnX2 (X = I, OTf) mediated regioselective nucleophilic ring
opening reactions for the synthesis of tetrahydropyrimidine23. Baltork and co-workers24
have synthesized chemo selective tetrahydropyrimidines using nano-SiO2 as reusable
solid acid catalyst under microwave irradiation. Zhao et al. were synthesized
fluoroalkylated multifunctional 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines for the first time by the
reaction of 3-fluoroalkyl-3-anilinoacrylic acid esters with primary amines and
formaldehyde under mild conditions25. Muravyova et al. have carried out multicomponent
reactions with ultrasonic activation used as key methods for the synthesis of
tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives26.
Using microwave irradiation, Roy and Bordoloi have synthesized some new
tetrahydropyrimidines27. The stereo mutations of conformational atropisomers of
hindered 1,2-diaryl tetrahydropyrimidines has been reported by Gracia and co-workers28.
Baldev et al. have reported the thermal and microwave assisted synthesis of

tetrahydropyrimidines29. Synthesis and polymorph study of tetrahydropyrimidine
derivatives reported by Anatoly et al.30
Tetrahydropyrimidines are known to be versatile heterocyclic compound, which
has been subjected to a large variety of structural modifications in order to synthesize
derivatives with different biological properties. Many researchers have been worked on
QSAR study of tetrahydropyrimidines31-33. Their various condensed derivatives are
reported to possess calcium antagonist,34-36 anti-inflammatory,37-39 analgesic,40,41
antitumor,42,43 antidepressant44, antibacterial and antifungal effects45-47. Several synthetic
approaches have been reported for the synthesis of fused heterocyclic pyrimidine
derivatives48-50. These compounds also act as muscarinic agonist in the rat central nervous
system51, 52. Upshall53 has reported the nicotinic activity of these compounds.
In present chapter, some new tetrahydropyrimidines have been synthesized and
characterization of these synthesized compounds is done by IR, NMR and mass spectral
data.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
Synthesis of 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile
(PAB-101 - PAB-110):
A substituted aldehyde (0.01 mole), malenonitrile (0.01 mole) and freshly
prepared 30 ml of sodium ethoxide was taken in a flask. When the solution becomes
clear, guanidine hydrochloride (0.01 mole) was added and the reaction mixture was
refluxed for 12 hours. After the completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was poured
into crushed ice. The solution was neutralized with aqueous HCL solution and product
was extracted using chloroform (50 ml × 3), the combined organic layer was washed
using brine solution (20 ml × 2). The organic layer was dried on anhydrous sodium
sulphate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to acquire the solid
product. All the synthesized compounds were recrystallized from chloroform.
The formation of the compounds was checked by thin-layer chromatography and
accomplished on 0.2-mm pre coated plates of silica gel G60 F254 (Merck). Visualization
was made with UV light (254 and 365nm) or with an iodine vapor.
The melting point of all the synthesized compounds was determined in open
capillary tubes and was uncorrected.
The characterization of all these compounds was done by IR, NMR and mass
spectral data. The IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu FT-IR-8400 instrument using
KBr pellet method. The Mass spectra were recorded on Shimadzu GC-MS-QP-2010
model using direct inlet probe technique. 1H NMR and 13C NMR was determined in
DMSO solution on a Bruker Ac 400 MHz spectrometer.
The physical constants of all the synthesized compounds are given in Table 2.1.1
Figures 2.1.1 to 2.1.4 show the IR, mass and NMR spectrum of a compound.

INTRODUCTION
Pyrimidine nucleus is one of the most important heterocycles exhibiting
remarkable pharmacological activities. The practice of medicinal chemistry is devoted to
the discovery and development of new agents for treating diseases. The process of
establishing a new drug is exceeding complex and involves talent of people from variety
of disciplines 1. An important aspect of medicinal chemistry has been to establish a
relationship between chemical structure and pharmacological activity 2. Pyrimidine is a
six membered cyclic compound containing four carbon and two nitrogen atoms and is
pharmacologically inactive but its synthetic derivatives possess an important role in
modern medicine.
In medicinal chemistry, pyrimidine derivatives have been very well known for
their therapeutic applications. The presence of a pyrimidine base in thymine, cytosine and
uracil, which are the essential building blocks of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA is one of
possible reasons for their activities3.
Literature survey shows that lots of work has been done for tetrazolopyrimidines.
In recent years, synthesis of Tetreazolopyrimidine and their derivatives is of high interest
in organic chemistry4-8.
Tetrazolopyrimidines are known to be synthesized using mineral acid9, sulfamic
acid10, strontium chloride hexahydrate11 etc. Recently, in synthetic organic chemistry,
one-pot multicomponent reactions are very popular because of their significant
advantages12. Chemoselective reduction of fused tetrazoles using phase-Transfer
condition has been reported by Desai et al.13.
Their related fused heterocycles are of interest as potential bioactive molecules.
They are known to exhibit biological activities such as anti algeric15,16, anti microbial17,18,
anti malerial19, anti hypertensive20, anti cancer21, anti tumor22, anti inflamatory23, anti
bacterial24, analgesic25,26, anti fungal27, anti viral28 etc. These derivatives have also been
reported to be used for the treatment of thyroid cancer29.
Thus, in present chapter, some new tetrazolopyrimidine derivatives have been
synthesized and characterization of these synthesized compounds is done by IR, NMR
and mass spectral data.
Section-II Synthesis of tetrazolopyrimidine derivatives

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
Synthesis of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanamide:
A mixture of aniline (0.01 mole), ethyl acetoacetate (0.01 mole), and catalytic
amount of sodium or potassium hydroxide (10 %) in 50 ml toluene was refluxed at 110 oC
for 12-15 hours. After completion of reaction, the solvent was removed under vacuum
and the residue was crystallized from methanol.
Synthesis of 7-(4-bromophenyl)-4, 7-dihydro-5-methyl-N-phenyl tetrazolo [1,5-a]
pyrimidine-6-carboxamide (PAB-201-PAB-210):
A mixture of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanamide (0.01mol), aromatic aldehyde (0.01
mol), 5-aminotetrazole (0.01 mol) and (10 mol% I2/i-PrOH) was dissolved in 10 ml
isopropyl alcohol. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 3-4 hrs and then was cooled at
room temperature. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with chilled isopropyl
alcohol to give pure product.
The formation of the compounds was checked by thin-layer chromatography and
accomplished on 0.2-mm precoated plates of silica gel G60 F254 (Merck). Visualization
was made with UV light (254 and 365nm) or with an iodine vapor.
The melting point of all the synthesized compounds was determined in open
capillary tubes and was uncorrected. The characterization of all these compounds was
done by IR, NMR and mass spectral data. The IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu FT-
IR-8400 instrument using KBr pellet method. The Mass spectra were recorded on
Shimadzu GC-MS-QP-2010 model using direct inlet probe technique. 1H NMR and 13C
NMR was determined in DMSO solution on a Bruker Ac 400 MHz spectrometer.

INTRODUCTION
The chemistry of pyrazoles has been reviewed by Jarobe in 1967. Pyrazoles have
attracted attention of medicinal chemists for both with regard to heterocyclic chemistry
and the pharmacological activities associated with them. Pyrazoles are well known
nitrogen containing five member heterocycles.
Pyrazoles have been studied extensively because of ready accessibility, diverse
chemical reactivity, broad spectrum of biological activity1-6 and varieties of industrial
applications7.
As evident from the literature, in recent years a significant portion of research
work in heterocyclic chemistry has been devoted to pyrazoles containing different alkyl,
aryl and heteroaryl groups as substituents.
Different methods are available from the literature for the preparation of 2-
pyrazole derivatives8-13.The most common procedure for the synthesis of 2-pyrazoles is
the reaction of an aliphatic or aromatic hydrazine with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl
compounds14,15.
Suzuki et al. have reported gold catalyzed synthesis of some dihydropyrazoles16.
De17 et al. have reported cellulose beads as a new versatile solid support for microwave
assisted synthesis of pyrazole and isoxazole libraries.A solid-phase synthesis of pyrazole
dicarboxylic acid derivatives by functionalization of cyanoformate have been reported by
Morelli et al.18. Ren and coworkers19 have synthesized pyrazole derivatives using liquid
phase synthesis strategy. Kim et al. have reported the synthesis of cyanopyrazoline
derivatives20 whereas Koval et al. have synthesized and studied the structures of new
copper complexes with the pyrazole-containing ligands21. Ali has reported stereoselective
synthesis of N-vinyl pyrazoles in solvent-free conditions using dipotassium hydrogen
phosphate powder22.
Thus, in literature, various catalysts have been used for the synthesis of pyrazoles.
Some of these catalysts are metals23, conjugate base24, iodine25, hafnium chloride26,
tungstophosphoricacid27, p-toluene sulphonic acid28, sulfamicacid29, ytterbium(III)
perfluorooctanoate30, silver31, organocatalysts32, etc..
Much attention was paid to pyrazole as a potential antimicrobial agent after the
discovery of the natural pyrazole C-glycoside pyrazofurin which demonstrated a broad
spectrum of antimicrobial activity33. Some pyrazole derivatives used as potent and

selective inhibitors against DNA gyrase are capable to cause bacterial cell death, for
example, Hoffmann – La Roche’s group34,35 has developed a new lead DNA gyrase
inhibitor. Literature survey shows that 2-pyrazolines are better therapeutic agents. They
possess valuable bioactivities like, antiinflammatory36,37, antitumor38,39, analgesic40,41,
bactericidal42, Fungicidal43, anticancer44, anticonvulsant45, pesticidal46, antidepressant47,
antiamoebic48, insecticidal49 ,antineoplastic50,51,antitubercular52 etc.
Thus, in present chapter, some new dihydropyrazoles have been synthesized and
characterization of these synthesized compounds is done by IR, NMR and mass spectral
data.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
[A] Synthesis of substituted chalcones:
Substituted aldehydes (0.01 mole) was dissolved in 15 ml of methanol. 0.01 mole
of substituted acetophenones and 3-4 drops of saturated sodium hydroxide solution (as a
catalyst) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 hours. After the
completion of reaction, the reaction mass was filtered and washed with chilled methanol.
Similarly, other compounds are also prepared using different aldehydes.
[B] Synthesis of 6-chloro-4-phenylchroman-2-one:
To a mixture of cinnamic acid (0.1 mole), p-chloro phenol (0.1, mole), catalytic
amount of concentrated H2SO4 was added with stirring and the reaction mixture was
heated at 70o-80oC to become clear solution. The temperature was then increased up to
120o-125oC and heating was continued for 3-4 hours. After the completion of reaction,
the reaction mixture was cooled up to 80oC. Then 40 ml of toluene and 40 ml of water
was added to the reaction mixture and stirred it for 30 minutes. The toluene layer was
separated and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (2 x 20 ml) and water
(2 x 20 ml). The resulting toluene layer was then dried using sodium sulphate under
vacuum. 25 ml of isopropyl alcohol added to the resulting oily mass and stirring was done
for 30 minutes at 0-5o C. The product was filtered and washed with chilled iso-propyl
alcohol (2 x 5 ml) and dried to give 6-chloro-4-phenylchroman-2-one
[C] Synthesis of methyl 3-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanoate:
A mixture of 6-chloro-4-phenylchroman-2-one (0.1 mole), potassium carbonate
(0.12 mole), benzyl chloride (0.12 mole), sodium iodide (0.05 mole), 100 ml of acetone
and 100 ml of methanol was heated with stirring. After the completion of reaction,
solvent was removed under vacuum. Then, dichloromethane (100 ml) and water (100 ml)
was added to the reaction mixture and was stirred for 30 minutes. The organic layer was

separated and dried using sodium sulphate and distilled completely under vacuum to get
oily residue of 3-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanoate.
[D] Synthesis of 3-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanehydrazide:
3-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanoate (0.01 mole) was dissolved
in 20 ml of methanol. 2 ml of hydrazine hydrate (99 %) was added to this solution and the
resulting mixture was heated for 10-12 hours at reflux temperature. After the completion
of reaction, the reaction mass was filtered and washed with chilled methanol (2 x 5 ml) to
give pure product.

To a mixture of 3-(2-benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanehydrazide
(0.01 mol) and different substituted chalcones (0.01 mol), 10 ml of glacial acetic acid was
added with stirring. The reaction mixture was refluxed on oil bath for 12 hours. After the
completion of reaction, the mixture was poured into crushed ice to give solid product. The
solid mass was filtered and purified by column chromatography using eluent hexane:
ethyl acetate (7:3). Similarly other compounds were also prepared with different
chalcones.

The formation of the compounds was checked by thin-layer chromatography and
accomplished on 0.2-mm pre coated plates of silica gel G60 F254 (Merck). Visualization
was made with UV light (254 and 365nm) or with an iodine vapor.
The melting point of all the synthesized compounds was determined in open
capillary tubes and was uncorrected.
The characterization of all these compounds was done by IR, NMR and mass
spectral data. The IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu FT-IR-8400 instrument using
KBr pellet method. The Mass spectra were recorded on Shimadzu GC-MS-QP-2010
model using direct inlet probe technique. 1H NMR and 13C NMR was determined in
DMSO solution on a Bruker Ac 400 MHz spectrometer.
The physical constants of all the synthesized compounds are given in Table 2.3.1.
Figures 2.3.1 to 2.3.4 show the IR, mass and NMR spectrum of a compound.

INTRODUCTION
Oxadiazoles belong to an important group of heterocyclic compounds having –
N=C-O- linkage. 1,3,4-oxadiazole(1) is a thermally stable aromatic heterocycle and exist
in two partially reduced forms; 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole(1,3,4-oxadiazoline)(2) and
2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole(1,3,4-oxadiazoline)(3) depending on the position of the
double bond. The completely reduced form of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole is known as 2,3,4,5-
tetrahydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole (1,3,4-oxadiazolidine)(4)1
1,3,4-Oxadiazole is a heterocyclic molecule with oxygen atom at 1 and two nitrogen
atoms at 3 and 4 positions. They have been known for about 80 years, it is only in the last
decade that investigations in this field have been intensified because of large number of
applications of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in the most diverse areas viz. drug synthesis2,3, heat
resistant materials 4,5, photo luminescence6,7, light and display devices8 etc.
There were several routes for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles reported in the
literature, among which the most important aspects of synthesis were discussed as under.
One of the popular methods involves cyclization of diacylhydrazines prepared from the
reaction of acyl chlorides and hydrazine. Several cyclodehydrating agents such as BF3–
OEt29 ,1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethydisilazane10, triflic anhydride11, phosphorus pentoxide12,
polyphosphoric acid13, thionyl chloride14, phosphorus oxychloride15 and sulfuric acid16
have been used.
One-pot syntheses of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from hydrazine with carboxylic acids have
also been reported17. Green chemistry and one-pot, solvent-free using microwave
mediated synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were reported by Polshettiwar18. Ali et al. have
synthesized some derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by four-component condensation19
reaction. Microwave assisted 1,3,4 oxadiazole have synthesized by Jha et al.20 whereas
Kumar et al.21 have given electrochemical synthesis of oxadiazoles.
Another synthetic route for the preparation of these compounds is via acylation of
tetrazoles22. 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles have also been prepared by oxidation of acyl hydrazones
with different oxidizing agents23-26, Reaction of acyl hydrazides with orthoesters in the

presence of an acidic catalyst27 and solid phase synthesis of oxadiazoles28 are other
approaches for the synthesis of this group of compounds.
Oxidation of acylhydrazones derived from aldehydes has been developed into a
useful route to disubstituted oxadiazoles29. A mild, general, convenient, and efficient one-
pot synthesis of 2-phenyl-5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were reported by Stabile30. The
use of potassium permanganate with acetone as solvent was claimed to give better yields
than the use of other oxidizing agents (e.g.halogens) 31. An improved synthesis of bis-
oxadiazolyl benzenes involved oxidation of bis hydrazones with lead tetraacetate32. The
synthesis of amino-oxadiazoles by oxidative cyclization of semicarbazone was also
reported33. Srimanta et al. have synthesized 2,5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles using cu(II)
catalyst34. Iodine (III) mediated synthesis of novel unsymmetrical 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-
oxadiazole were reported by Om Prakash35 . The molecular docking of 2-chloropyridine
derivatives possessing 1,3,4-oxadiazole have studied by Quing-Zhong et. Al36 .
1,3,4-Oxadiazoles are a class of heterocycles, which have attracted significant
interest in medicinal chemistry37. 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles are known as a versatile heterocyclic
compounds which has been subjected to a large variety of structural modifications in
order to synthesize derivatives with different biological properties. Their various
condensed derivatives are reported to possess antibacterial38, antiinflammatory39,
analgesic40, anticancer41 , antihypertensive42 , anticonvulsant43,44, antifungal45,
cardiovascular46, hypoglycemic47, Mao inhibitor48,49, antituberculosis50, anti-tumor51,
anthelmintic,52 antioxidant53. QSAR study of substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole were reported
by Ravichandran54. Singh et al.55 have prepared new azole containing 1,3,4-oxadiazoles
and studied their antimicrobial activities. Zheng et al.56 have synthesized 2,5-
disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives and screened for their insecticidal activity.
Thus, due to the importance of biological active 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles in the present
chapter, the synthesis and characterization of some 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles derivatives, are
discussed.

[D] Synthesis of 2-(2-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethyl)-5-(o tolyl)-
1,3,4-oxadiazole:
A mixture of 3-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-chlorophenyl)-3-phenylpropanehydrazide (0.01
mole) and different aryl acids (0.01 mole) in phosphorous oxychloride (10 ml) was
refluxed for 10-12 hours at 100 oC with continue stirring. After completion of the
reaction, reaction was poured in to ice and neutralized with saturated sodium bicarbonate
solution. The product was extracted in ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with
water (2 x 10 ml) and the resulting crude product was purified by column
chromatography.
The melting point of all the synthesized compounds was determined in open
capillary tubes and was uncorrected.
The characterization of all these compounds was done by IR, NMR and mass
spectral data. The IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu FT-IR-8400 instrument using
KBr pellet method. The Mass spectra were recorded on Shimadzu GC-MS-QP-2010

INTRODUCTION
4-Thiazolidinones are the derivatives of thiazolidine, which belong to an
important group of heterocyclic compounds containing sulfur and nitrogen in a five
member ring. Some of the thiazolidinones are found to possess interesting biological
activities, such as anticancer2, anti-HIV3, antimalarial4, tuberculostatic5, antihistaminic6,
anticonvulsunt7-8, antibacterial9, antiarrythmic10, antiproliferative11-12, antiinflamatory13,
cox I inhibition14, anti tumor15, analgesic16 and antidiabatic17-18 etc. In view of the
biological/pharmacological significance of 4-thiazolidinones, considerable synthetic
efforts have been made to construct this class of heterocycles19.
Several synthetic protocols for 4-thiazolidinones have been reported in the
literature20-26. Recently, one-pot multicomponent reactions have emerged as a powerful
tool in synthetic organic chemistry because of their significant advantages27-30 Some
copper complexes of 4-thiazolidinone have been synthesized by Vries et al.31.Various
workers have applied the Green chemistry approach to the synthesis of 4-thiazolidinone
derivatives by using microwave assisted and multi component reaction method32-33.
Lohary et al.34 have synthesized some 4-thiazolidinone derivatives and studied their
hypolipidemic activity. Bioactive venlafaxine analogs such as 2,3-disubstituted-1, 3-
thiazolidinones have also been synthesized and their anti microbial activity have been
reprted35. One-pot three component cyclocondensation of carbonyl compounds, amines,
and mercaptoacetic acid or its derivatives has been widely used as a synthetic route for
the 4-thiazolidinones. The above mentioned cyclo condensation can be either run in one-
pot or in two steps with prolonged heating in toluene or benzene36. Pratap et al.37 have
reported one pot three component synthesis of thiazolidinones. There are reports for
accelerating the above cyclo condensation using catalysts like N,N’-
dicyclohexylcarbodiimide38, O-(benzotriazol-yl)-N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyluroniumhexa
fluoro phosphate39, iodine40, ferrite41, ZnCl242, [bmim][PF6]43 and activated fly ash44. The
use of microwave heating45,46, solid phase47, and polymer supported 48 systems for the
cyclo condensation leading to 2,3-disubstitiuted 4-thiazolidinones have also been
reported.
Many researchers have been worked on QSAR study of thiazolidinones49-50.
Singh51 have reported the fungicidal activity of 5-methyl-3-aryl-2-arylimino-4-

thiazolidinones and their acetoxy mercuric derivatives. Graciet et al.52 have studied the
antiviral activity of some 4-thiazolidinone derivatives. Kumar et al53. have studied
antiparkinsonian activity of some new adamantly thiazolidinonyl indole derivatives. The
anti cancer54 and antitubercular55 activity of some other derivatives have also been
studied. The anti bacterial activity of various thiazolidinone derivatives has also been
reported56-60.
In present chapter, some new thiazolidinones derivatives have been synthesized
and characterization of these synthesized compounds is done by IR, NMR and mass
spectral data.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
Synthesis of azomethines:
A mixture of 4-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1yl)methyl) aniline (0.01 mol) and different
substituted aromatic aldehydes (0.01 mol) was dissolved in 20 ml of methanol. In this
solution, catalytic amount of glacial acetic acid was added and the reaction mixture was
heated with stirring for 10-12 hrs. After the completion of reaction, the reaction mass was
filtered, washed with chilled methanol and then dried to give substituted azomethines.
The other compounds were prepared similarly by treating with corresponding aldehydes.
Synthesis of 3-(4-((1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl) thia
zolidin-4-one:
A mixture of 4-((1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)methyl)-N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)aniline
(0.01 mol) and 2-merccapto acetic acid (0.03 mol) in toluene (20 ml) was refluxed for
10-12 hours in a dean-stark assembly with continuous stirring. After completion of the
reaction, the content was cooled to room temperature and then neutralized with sodium
bicarbonate solution. The organic extract was washed with water (2 x 10 ml), dried using
sodium sulphate and distilled completely under vacuum and give yellow colored product.
The formation of the compounds was checked by thin-layer chromatography and
accomplished on 0.2-mm pre coated plates of silica gel G60 F254 (Merck). Visualization
was made with UV light (254 and 365nm) or with an iodine vapor.
The melting point of all the synthesized compounds was determined in open
capillary tubes and was uncorrected. The characterization of all these compounds was
done by IR, NMR and mass spectral data. The IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu FT-
IR-8400 instrument using KBr pellet method. The Mass spectra were recorded on
Shimadzu GC-MS-QP-2010 model using direct inlet probe technique. 1H NMR and 13C
NMR was determined in DMSO solution on a Bruker Ac 400 MHz spectrometer.
