A green multicomponent synthesis of bioactive pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline derivatives as antibacterial agents in water catalyzed by RuCl_3·xH_2O

An efficient, convenient and environmentally benign one-pot multicomponent reaction for the preparation of pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline derivatives as biologically, pharmacologically and antibacte- rially active products has been developed using RuC13.xH20 as a reusable homogenous catalyst. Use of water as a green solvent, purification of products by non-chromatographic methods, reusability of transition metal homogenous catalyst, saving energy by employing multicomponent reactions, short reaction times and high yields, are some of the advantages of this process.

An expedient one-pot synthesis of highly substituted imidazoles using supported ionic liquid-like phase(SILLP) as a green and effcient catalyst and evaluation of their anti-microbial activity

An effcient method for the synthesis of imidazole derivatives by a three-component condensation of benzil or 9,10-phenanthrenequinone,aldehydes and ammonium acetate using supported ionic liquidlike phase（SILLP）catalyst under ultrasonic irradiation or classical heating conditions is reported.The present methodology offers several advantages,such as excellent yields,simple procedures,short reaction times,simple work-up and mild conditions.The catalyst is easily separated from the products by fltration and also exhibits remarkable reusable activity.These highly substituted imidazoles were also evaluated for their anti-microbial activity.

Efficient Ru -catalyzed synthesis of 9-aryl-9H-xanthene-3,6-diols as precursors to fluorones

Efficient condensation of resorcinol and various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of RuCl_3nH_2O as a homogeneous catalyst under reflux conditions was investigated.It was found that a very simple method afforded good to excellent yields of the desired products.
