Graphene oxide in the catalytic synthesis of chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones and pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-4-ones
摘要
Graphene oxide was successfully used as a heterogeneous acid catalyst in the synthesis of chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidinones and pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolinones by the annulation of a pyrimidine fragment to 2-aminotetrahydrochromene(quinoline)-3-carbonitriles under the action of acetic anhydride. Advantages of using graphene oxide include the exclusion of aggressive sulfuric acid as a catalyst from the reaction medium, acceptable yields, catalyst reusability and a significant reducing of the reaction time. The structure of spent graphene oxide was assessed using X-ray diffraction, Raman and IR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The structure of newly synthesized compounds was determined by a combination of spectral methods.
