Efficient synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinone and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives in presence of novel basic ionic liquid catalyst

A basic ionic liquid, namely 1,1＇-（butane-1,4-diyl）bis（1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octan-1-ium） hydrox-ide, was prepared and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, XH nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and pH measurements. The ionic liquid was used for efficient promotion of the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinone and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives at room temperature under grinding conditions. A simple procedure, short reaction time, high yields, non-column chromatographic separation, commercial availability of the starting materials, and recyclability of the catalyst are attractive features of this process.
