Abstract

The reaction of 3-chloropropyl silica (SilprCl) with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in dry acetone affords silica-bonded 5-n-propyl-octahydro-pyrimido[1,2-a]azepinium chloride (SB-DBU)Cl as a new silica-supported ionic liquid catalyst. Afterward, (SB-DBU)Cl is used for the ef?cient synthesis of 4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives via the one-pot, three-component reaction of carbonyl compounds (cyclohexane-1,3-dione, 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione or 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one) with aromatic aldehydes and alkylmalonates. Moreover, some novel bis(benzo[b]pyran)s and a broad range of structurally diverse spiro-pyrans containing oxindole and/or quinoxaline moiety in their structures are synthesized using (SB-DBU)Cl. The catalyst is recycled and reused ?fteen times with unchanged yield.
