NaCl AS A NOVEL AND GREEN CATALYST FOR THESYNTHESIS OF BIODYNAMIC SPIRO HETEROCYCLESIN WATER UNDER SONICATION

Anshu Dandia, Anuj Kumar Jain, and Dharmendra Singh BhatiDepartment of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract An efficient and novel green catalytic protocol for the synthesis of biologically

important spirooxindole derivatives is developed in a one-pot, three-component approach

involving substituted isatin, activated methylene reagent, and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-

2-pyrazolin-5-one in water under sonication. This report describes the use of sodium chlor-

ide as a nonacidic and green catalyst for a variety of substrates. The advantageous features

of this methodology are the environmentally benign character, operational simplicity, high

yield processing, easy handling, and the fact that the products do not need to be purified.

Keywords Green chemistry; multicomponent reaction; ring-closing metathesis; sodium

chloride; sonication

INTRODUCTION

Within the past few years, green chemistry has become a major interest of thechemistry community.[1–3] The investigations and applications of green chemistryprinciples have led to the development of cleaner and more benign chemicalprocesses, with many new technologies being developed each year.

In most chemical processes, major adverse effects on the environment aremainly a result of the consumption of energy for heating. To overcome this problem,it is highly desirable to develop efficient methods that use alternative energy sources,such as ultrasonic irradiation, to facilitate chemical reactions.[4,5] At the same time,water can undoubtedly be considered as the cleanest solvent available for chemists.[6]

The spirooxindole unit is a privileged heterocyclic motif that forms the core ofa large family of alkaloid and natural products with strong bioactivity profiles and

interesting structural properties.[7–9] Significant recent advances in the synthesis ofthis fused heterocyclic system have led to an intense interest in the development ofrelated compounds as potential medicinal agents or biological probes. For example,Alstonisine, a natural alkaloid, was first isolated from Alstonia muelleriana[10] andhas been identified for its biomimetic transformations.[11] Further, Strychnofolinehas been found to inhibit mitosis in a number of cell lines including mouse mela-noma B16, Ehrlich, and Hepatom HW165.[12] Chitosenine is another structurallyinteresting natural product that exhibits short-lived inhibitory activity of ganglionictransmission ‘‘in vivo’’ in rats and rabbits.[13] The unique structural array and thehighly pronounced pharmacological activities displayed by the class of spirooxindolecompounds have made them attractive synthetic targets.

On the basis of biological studies that show the existence of two or more dif-ferent heterocyclic moieties in a single molecule often remarkably enhances the bio-cidal profile we intended the synthesis of a series of spirooxindoles with fusedpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles through a three-component reaction of isatin, active methyl-ene reagent, and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one in the presence of green cata-lyst sodium chloride in water under sonication. Fused pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles havealso received considerable attention because of their wide range of useful biologicalproperties, which include molluscicidal,[14] antimicrobial,[15] analgesic, andanti-inflammatory[16] activities.

Development of novel synthetic methodologies to facilitate the preparation ofcompound libraries based on privileged structures is an intense area of research. Oneapproach to address this challenge involves the development of multicomponentreactions (MCRs), in which three or more reactants are combined together in a sin-gle reaction flask to generate a product incorporating most of the atoms contained inthe starting materials. In addition to the intrinsic atom economy and selectivityunderlying such reactions, simpler procedures, equipment, time, and energy savings,as well as environmental friendliness have all led to a sizable effort to design andimplement MCRs in both academia and industry.[17,18]

In the context of this program, we have previously reported the synthesis of spir-ooxindole derivatives by a multistep process catalyzed by Et3N in ethanol underreflux.[19–21] Recently, two articles,[22,23] describing three-component syntheses ofpyran 5 in aqueous medium with surfactants or solvent free reaction catalyzed byInCl3 with microwave assistance, appeared in the literature. These methods displayimportant disadvantages in generating of mixtures of pyrans and unsaturated nitriles.Microwave assistance is not necessary in pyran synthesis because the reactions areslightly exothermic. Moreover, this method requires relatively expensive InCl3 in com-parison with more convenient and cheap sodium chloride and a complicated workup,requiring large amounts of organic solvents (chromatographic column). Pyrans werealso prepared by electrochemical methods that suffer from technical intricacy.[24,25]

Thus, we tried to utilize a more appropriate and more accessible green catalyst,sodium chloride, and water for these transformations. This method is very expedientand would be useful for the syntheses of different types of spirooxindoles.

In continuation of our aim to develop new and ecofriendly synthetic method-ologies,[26,27] herein, we report a novel, green, nonacidic, and effective sodiumchloride–catalyzed one-pot method for the synthesis of spirooxindole derivativesin water under sonication.

To the best of our knowledge, there is no report available in the literaturedescribing the use of sodium chloride as nonacidic catalyst in aqueous media forthe synthesis of spiro-indoline derivatives.

In our method, 24 compounds were obtained in excellent yield (purity not less95%) without using complex catalysis and organic solvents and without additionalpurification.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In this article, we describe a versatile synthetic approach based on a three-component sodium chloride–catalyzed reaction under sonication, as the most simpleand convenient methodology, which would be applicable to the syntheses of differenttypes of spirooxindole derivatives.

Initially, evaluation of various catalysts was carried out for the synthesis ofspirooxindole derivatives in water under ultrasonic irradiation in the absence andpresence of various catalysts. After some preliminary experiments, we found thata mixture of isatin, ethylcynoacetate, and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one inthe presence of catalytic sodium chloride affored ethyl 60-amino-30-methyl-2-oxo-10-phenyl-10H-spiro[indoline-3,40-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole]-50-carboxylate (5a) in excellentyield (94%). With other catalysts, the product formed with yields ranging between 54and 76%. In the absence of catalyst, the yield of the product was found to be verypoor (Table 1).

To find an effective catalyst for the synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives undersonication, we emphasized the amount of catalyst to be used in this condensationreaction in the presence of several type of catalysts. While using the catalyst sodiumchloride, the results seemed to be better. Adding 2.5mol% of sodium chloride to thesystem under similar reaction conditions resulted in obvious acceleration, but theyield was not improved. While increasing the amount of sodium chloride from2.5mol% to 5 or 10mol% the reaction resulted in the formation of 5a in 80–86%and 94% respectively. Thus, the best results were obtained when 10mol% of sodiumchloride was used.

To verify the specific effect of ultrasound irradiation, we also performed theexperiments under silent conditions. The syntheses of 5a and 5b were carried outby stirring for 1.5 and 2 h at 80 �C, resulting in 68% and 66% yields, respectively.While under ultrasound irradiation for 20min, 5a and 5b were obtained in 94%and 92% yields (Table 2). It showed that ultrasound irradiation was found to havea beneficial effect on the synthesis of spiro[indoline-3,40-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazolederivatives.

Encouraged by these results, we have extended this reaction to various substi-tuted isatins under similar conditions to furnish the respective spirooxindole deriva-tives in excellent yields (Scheme 1, Table 2) without the formation of any sideproducts.

The plausible mechanism for the formation of spiro derivatives 5 is described inScheme 2. The process represents a typical cascade reaction in which the isatin 1 firstcondenses with malononotrile 2 to afford isatylidene malononitrile derivative 4. Thisstep is regarded as fast Knoevenagel condensation. The second step involves the 4C-alkylation of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one by the reaction withelectrophilic C=C double bond of 4 and the nucleophilic addition of the -OH groupon the cyano moiety to form the desired product 5.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, we have demonstrated a novel and highly efficient methodologyfor the synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives through sodium chloride catalyzedprocess under sonication. The method provides many obvious advantages such asthe avoidance of harmful organic solvents, simplicity of work up, good yields,environmental friendliness and use of the safer green technique. The results showedthat ultrasonic irradiation can be used as a valuable means for synthesis of organiccompounds.
