A green method for the three-component synthesis of an indeno[1,2-b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridines library under microwave irradiation and their use in the preparation of novel fluorescent dicyanovinylidene-substituted derivatives is provided.
In 3-tert-butyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-phenylindeno[1,2-b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridin-5(1H)-one, C(29)H(22)ClN(3)O, (I), inversion-related pairs of molecules are linked by C-H...O hydrogen bonds to form R(2)(2)(18) dimers, which are themselves linked into a chain by a π-π stacking interaction between inversion-related pairs of molecules. In 3-tert-butyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)indeno[1,2-b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridin-5(1H)-one, C(30)H(24)ClN(3)O(2), (II), which crystallizes in the space group P-1, with Z' = 2 and with different orientations for the methoxy groups in the two independent molecules, a combination of C-H···O and C-H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds links the molecules into chains of rings, which are further linked into sheets by a π-π stacking interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
