3 Results and Discussion

A convenient rapid and one-pot method for the Aza-Diels-Alder reactions of aldimines with dihydropyran or dihydro-furan to afford the corresponding pyrano and furo[32-c]quinolines in high yields with high diastereoselectivity in ashort period of time has been developed We now report ourobservations on the synthesis of pyrano- and furoquinolinesby a one-pot three-component coupling of anilines (1) ben-zaldehydes (2) and 34-dihydro-2H-pyran or 23-dihydro-furan (3a b) catalyzed by nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) at room temperature (Scheme 1)

Nano-SCA is formed via the reaction between nano silicagel (mesh 20 nm) and chromyl chloride CrO

and SiO2-CrO3H are formed in situ by the reaction between

nano-SCA and H2O in wet SiO

In a typical procedure benzaldehyde and aniline werereacted with 34-dihydro-2H-pyran in the presence of nanosilica chromic acid (nano-SCA) catalyst in THF at room tem-perature To our surprise the reaction yielded the corre-sponding pyrano[32-c]quinoline within 65min as a mixture

The reaction proceeded in a short period of time and af-forded the corresponding furo[32-c]quinolines a mixture ofcis- and trans-isomers (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7) whichcould be separated and purified by column chromatographyover silica gel to give a solid that was defined by GC-MS IRand 1HNMR (Scheme 3) and the results are listed in Table 2

Several aldimines (formed in situ from aromatic aldehy-des and anilines in THF) reacted smoothly with 23-dihy-drofuran using nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) cata-lyst to afford the corresponding furano[32-c]quinolines ascistrans mixtures in 87ndash92 yield (Scheme 3 and Table 2)Also the structures of the products were established on thebasis of spectroscopic (IR 1HNMR 13CNMR and GC-MS)data of the pure compounds (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7)

To further optimize the reaction condition in terms of sol-vent we tried the reaction in various solvents and also with-out solvent It was noticed that THF as solvent appears to be

When the experiment was conducted at room tempera-ture a good and convenient amount of the correspondingproduct was generated (Table 4 Entry 1 and Tables 1 and2) Upon heating (reflux conditions) however the reactionwas greatly accelerated (Table 4 Entries 2 3 5 and 7ndash9) andwith higher yield (Table 4 Entry 2) The major isomer oftendepends on the reaction temperature Higher temperaturegave more of the thermodynamically stable trans-isomerproducts while lower temperatures resulted in fast formationof the kinetically favored cis-isomer products (94 yield)(Table 4 Entry 1) A moderate yield (975) was obtainedaccompanied by high trans selectivity of the product 92 8(Table 4 Entry 2)

3 Results and Discussion

A convenient rapid and one-pot method for the Aza-Diels-Alder reactions of aldimines with dihydropyran or dihydro-furan to afford the corresponding pyrano and furo[32-c]quinolines in high yields with high diastereoselectivity in ashort period of time has been developed We now report ourobservations on the synthesis of pyrano- and furoquinolinesby a one-pot three-component coupling of anilines (1) ben-zaldehydes (2) and 34-dihydro-2H-pyran or 23-dihydro-furan (3a b) catalyzed by nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) at room temperature (Scheme 1)

Nano-SCA is formed via the reaction between nano silicagel (mesh 20 nm) and chromyl chloride CrO

2Cl2 Then HCl

and SiO2-CrO3H are formed in situ by the reaction between

nano-SCA and H2O in wet SiO

2(Scheme 2)

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) picture ofnano-SCA is recorded with 15000X (Figure 1)

In a typical procedure benzaldehyde and aniline werereacted with 34-dihydro-2H-pyran in the presence of nanosilica chromic acid (nano-SCA) catalyst in THF at room tem-perature To our surprise the reaction yielded the corre-sponding pyrano[32-c]quinoline within 65min as a mixture

of cis- and trans-isomers in the ratio of 10 90 in an overallyield of 94 Easy separation of the isomers was achievedby chromatography over silica gel (Scheme 1) We could es-tablish the structures of these isomers based on 1H NMRdata and the IR spectrum is especially strong differentiatingisomers of diverse functional groups being the spectroscopyof choice for instant classification of molecules And the ratioof the isomers obtained in each reaction was determinedfrom the 1HNMR spectrum of the crude product and thestructures of the products were characterized on the basis ofspectroscopic (IR 1H NMR 13C NMR and GC-MS) dataof the pure compounds from column chromatography(Scheme 1 compounds 4andashj and 5andashj) All the reactionsinvolving various aldehydes containing electron donatingand electron withdrawing substituents formed imine insitu and in all cases the imines generated from aromaticaldehydes and anilines reacted with dihydropyran and thethree-component one-pot reaction proceeded to give the cor-responding pyranoquinolines in high yields and with highdiastereoselectivity The results are listed in Table 1

The reaction proceeded in a short period of time and af-forded the corresponding furo[32-c]quinolines a mixture ofcis- and trans-isomers (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7) whichcould be separated and purified by column chromatographyover silica gel to give a solid that was defined by GC-MS IRand 1HNMR (Scheme 3) and the results are listed in Table 2

Several aldimines (formed in situ from aromatic aldehy-des and anilines in THF) reacted smoothly with 23-dihy-drofuran using nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) cata-lyst to afford the corresponding furano[32-c]quinolines ascistrans mixtures in 87ndash92 yield (Scheme 3 and Table 2)Also the structures of the products were established on thebasis of spectroscopic (IR 1HNMR 13CNMR and GC-MS)data of the pure compounds (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7)

To further optimize the reaction condition in terms of sol-vent we tried the reaction in various solvents and also with-out solvent It was noticed that THF as solvent appears to be

When the experiment was conducted at room tempera-ture a good and convenient amount of the correspondingproduct was generated (Table 4 Entry 1 and Tables 1 and2) Upon heating (reflux conditions) however the reactionwas greatly accelerated (Table 4 Entries 2 3 5 and 7ndash9) andwith higher yield (Table 4 Entry 2) The major isomer oftendepends on the reaction temperature Higher temperaturegave more of the thermodynamically stable trans-isomerproducts while lower temperatures resulted in fast formationof the kinetically favored cis-isomer products (94 yield)(Table 4 Entry 1) A moderate yield (975) was obtainedaccompanied by high trans selectivity of the product 92 8(Table 4 Entry 2)

3 Results and Discussion

A convenient rapid and one-pot method for the Aza-Diels-Alder reactions of aldimines with dihydropyran or dihydro-furan to afford the corresponding pyrano and furo[32-c]quinolines in high yields with high diastereoselectivity in ashort period of time has been developed We now report ourobservations on the synthesis of pyrano- and furoquinolinesby a one-pot three-component coupling of anilines (1) ben-zaldehydes (2) and 34-dihydro-2H-pyran or 23-dihydro-furan (3a b) catalyzed by nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) at room temperature (Scheme 1)

Nano-SCA is formed via the reaction between nano silicagel (mesh 20 nm) and chromyl chloride CrO

2Cl2 Then HCl

and SiO2-CrO3H are formed in situ by the reaction between

nano-SCA and H2O in wet SiO

2(Scheme 2)

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) picture ofnano-SCA is recorded with 15000X (Figure 1)

In a typical procedure benzaldehyde and aniline werereacted with 34-dihydro-2H-pyran in the presence of nanosilica chromic acid (nano-SCA) catalyst in THF at room tem-perature To our surprise the reaction yielded the corre-sponding pyrano[32-c]quinoline within 65min as a mixture

of cis- and trans-isomers in the ratio of 10 90 in an overallyield of 94 Easy separation of the isomers was achievedby chromatography over silica gel (Scheme 1) We could es-tablish the structures of these isomers based on 1H NMRdata and the IR spectrum is especially strong differentiatingisomers of diverse functional groups being the spectroscopyof choice for instant classification of molecules And the ratioof the isomers obtained in each reaction was determinedfrom the 1HNMR spectrum of the crude product and thestructures of the products were characterized on the basis ofspectroscopic (IR 1H NMR 13C NMR and GC-MS) dataof the pure compounds from column chromatography(Scheme 1 compounds 4andashj and 5andashj) All the reactionsinvolving various aldehydes containing electron donatingand electron withdrawing substituents formed imine insitu and in all cases the imines generated from aromaticaldehydes and anilines reacted with dihydropyran and thethree-component one-pot reaction proceeded to give the cor-responding pyranoquinolines in high yields and with highdiastereoselectivity The results are listed in Table 1

The reaction proceeded in a short period of time and af-forded the corresponding furo[32-c]quinolines a mixture ofcis- and trans-isomers (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7) whichcould be separated and purified by column chromatographyover silica gel to give a solid that was defined by GC-MS IRand 1HNMR (Scheme 3) and the results are listed in Table 2

Several aldimines (formed in situ from aromatic aldehy-des and anilines in THF) reacted smoothly with 23-dihy-drofuran using nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) cata-lyst to afford the corresponding furano[32-c]quinolines ascistrans mixtures in 87ndash92 yield (Scheme 3 and Table 2)Also the structures of the products were established on thebasis of spectroscopic (IR 1HNMR 13CNMR and GC-MS)data of the pure compounds (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7)

To further optimize the reaction condition in terms of sol-vent we tried the reaction in various solvents and also with-out solvent It was noticed that THF as solvent appears to be

When the experiment was conducted at room tempera-ture a good and convenient amount of the correspondingproduct was generated (Table 4 Entry 1 and Tables 1 and2) Upon heating (reflux conditions) however the reactionwas greatly accelerated (Table 4 Entries 2 3 5 and 7ndash9) andwith higher yield (Table 4 Entry 2) The major isomer oftendepends on the reaction temperature Higher temperaturegave more of the thermodynamically stable trans-isomerproducts while lower temperatures resulted in fast formationof the kinetically favored cis-isomer products (94 yield)(Table 4 Entry 1) A moderate yield (975) was obtainedaccompanied by high trans selectivity of the product 92 8(Table 4 Entry 2)

As could be seen nano silica chromic acid catalyst ismore effective than the other catalysts and in the presence ofthis catalyst the highest yields of products are obtained Theresults (Table 4) show that nano silica chromic acid catalystis better with respect to yield and to reaction In all casesthe nano silica chromic acid catalyst shows higher activitycompared with other catalysts ZnO Bi(OTf)

Nano-SCA is noncorrosive and safe solid acid with easy sep-aration and recovery from reaction mixture We have syn-thesized azo pyrano- and furoquinolines using nano silica

3 Results and Discussion

A convenient rapid and one-pot method for the Aza-Diels-Alder reactions of aldimines with dihydropyran or dihydro-furan to afford the corresponding pyrano and furo[32-c]quinolines in high yields with high diastereoselectivity in ashort period of time has been developed We now report ourobservations on the synthesis of pyrano- and furoquinolinesby a one-pot three-component coupling of anilines (1) ben-zaldehydes (2) and 34-dihydro-2H-pyran or 23-dihydro-furan (3a b) catalyzed by nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) at room temperature (Scheme 1)

Nano-SCA is formed via the reaction between nano silicagel (mesh 20 nm) and chromyl chloride CrO

2Cl2 Then HCl

and SiO2-CrO3H are formed in situ by the reaction between

nano-SCA and H2O in wet SiO

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) picture ofnano-SCA is recorded with 15000X (Figure 1)

In a typical procedure benzaldehyde and aniline werereacted with 34-dihydro-2H-pyran in the presence of nanosilica chromic acid (nano-SCA) catalyst in THF at room tem-perature To our surprise the reaction yielded the corre-sponding pyrano[32-c]quinoline within 65min as a mixture

The reaction proceeded in a short period of time and af-forded the corresponding furo[32-c]quinolines a mixture ofcis- and trans-isomers (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7) whichcould be separated and purified by column chromatographyover silica gel to give a solid that was defined by GC-MS IRand 1HNMR (Scheme 3) and the results are listed in Table 2

Several aldimines (formed in situ from aromatic aldehy-des and anilines in THF) reacted smoothly with 23-dihy-drofuran using nano silica chromic acid (nano-SCA) cata-lyst to afford the corresponding furano[32-c]quinolines ascistrans mixtures in 87ndash92 yield (Scheme 3 and Table 2)Also the structures of the products were established on thebasis of spectroscopic (IR 1HNMR 13CNMR and GC-MS)data of the pure compounds (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7)

To further optimize the reaction condition in terms of sol-vent we tried the reaction in various solvents and also with-out solvent It was noticed that THF as solvent appears to be

When the experiment was conducted at room tempera-ture a good and convenient amount of the correspondingproduct was generated (Table 4 Entry 1 and Tables 1 and2) Upon heating (reflux conditions) however the reactionwas greatly accelerated (Table 4 Entries 2 3 5 and 7ndash9) andwith higher yield (Table 4 Entry 2) The major isomer oftendepends on the reaction temperature Higher temperaturegave more of the thermodynamically stable trans-isomerproducts while lower temperatures resulted in fast formationof the kinetically favored cis-isomer products (94 yield)(Table 4 Entry 1) A moderate yield (975) was obtainedaccompanied by high trans selectivity of the product 92 8(Table 4 Entry 2)

As could be seen nano silica chromic acid catalyst ismore effective than the other catalysts and in the presence ofthis catalyst the highest yields of products are obtained Theresults (Table 4) show that nano silica chromic acid catalystis better with respect to yield and to reaction In all casesthe nano silica chromic acid catalyst shows higher activitycompared with other catalysts ZnO Bi(OTf)

The reaction proceeded in a short period of time and af-forded the corresponding furo[32-c]quinolines a mixture ofcis- and trans-isomers (Scheme 3 compounds 6 and 7) whichcould be separated and purified by column chromatographyover silica gel to give a solid that was defined by GC-MS IRand 1HNMR (Scheme 3) and the results are listed in Table 2
