Organocatalyzed Domino Synthesis of New Thiazole-Based Decahydroacridine-1,8-diones and Dihydropyrido[2,3-d : 6,5-d']- dipyrimidines in Water as Antimicrobial Agents

Abstract

Organopromoter, 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid was used to catalyze the synthesis of a series of structurally intriguing new hybrids thiazolyl acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-diones and dihydropyrido[2,3-d : 6,5-d']dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraones for the first time. 2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid is a biobased organopromoter, used to generate four new bonds for the synthesis of new coupled thiazole-based decahydroacridine-1,8-diones. Superior green credentials, operational simplicity, easy work-up and recyclability of the catalyst are the key strengths of this method. The broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, cost effectiveness, high atom economy and good to excellent yields make the present method a distinct improvement over existing methods. Spectral (IR, ¹ H-NMR,¹³ C-NMR, Mass) data and elemental analyses confirmed the structures of the titled products. A series of thiazolyl acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-diones and dihydropyrido[2,3-d : 6,5-d']dipyrimidine-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,5H,7H)-tetraones were screened for their antimicrobial activity against four bacterial and three fungal strains.
