Synthesis of Functionalized Thiopyrano [2,3-b]quinolines via Cascade Reactions Catalyzed by Magnetic Arginine/Alginate Biocomposite

Abstract

An effective synthesis of functionalized thiopyrano [2,3-b]quinolines has been described via a cascade reactions using a super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with L-arginine (Arg) grafted alginate (Alg) called Fe3O4@Alg@CPTMS@Arg. The reaction was performed between commercially available CH acids compounds such as dimedone or malononitrile, and 2mercapto-quinoline-3-carbaldehydes under green conditions. This efficient method provides a new route for the formation of functionalized three or four fused rings.
