A novel three-component method for the synthesis of spiro[chromeno [4′,3′:4,5] pyrimido[1,2-b] indazole-7,3′-indoline]-2′,6(9H)-dione

Abstract

A green, efficient, and rapid procedure for the synthesis of novel spiro[chromeno[4′,3′:4,5] pyrimido[1,2-b]indazole-7,3′-indoline]-2′,6(9 H)-dione derivatives has been developed by one-pot condensation of 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one, isatin, and 1H-indazole-3-amine, in the presence of acetic acid in EtOH. This method has the advantages of operational simplicity, and high yield of products via a simple experimental and work-up procedure as compared to the conventional methods. The reaction mechanism and substrate scope of this novel reaction is briefly discussed.
