Thiamine hydrochloride (Vitamin-B1) has been utilized as an effective biodegradable catalyst for the one pot synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives via four component reaction of dimedone, aldehyde, ethylacetoacetate and ammonium acetate in ethanol under mild conditions. The method presented here offers several advantages over reported procedures in terms of environmentally benign catalytic system and excellent product yields (75-98%) of polyhydroqninoline compounds. Aromatic and heteroaryl aldehyde with electron donating as well as electron withdrawing group undergo smooth reaction to afford the corresponding polyhydroquinoline derivatives. The synthesized polyhydroquinoline compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and Mass spectral data. The present article describes the new application of Vitamin-B1. تفاصيل المقالة

An efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- Michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (CSA) under solvent free conditions is described. The corresponding Michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and anti-fungal activity against C. albicans. All the synthesized compounds show moderate to good antimicrobial activity. تفاصيل المقالة
