Three component reactions: An efficient and green synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones and thiones using silica gel-supported L-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid-4-hydrogen sulfate

An environmentally benign aqueous protocol for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-（ 1 H）-ones and thiones promoted by a green catalyst, silica gel-supported L-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid-4-hydrogen sulfate, has been developed. The use of nontoxic, thermally stable and inexpensive amino acid catalyst makes the process simple with minimal amount of chemical waste. Compared with classical Biginelli reaction conditions, this new method has the advantages of high yields and simple workup procedures.

Three Zinc(Ⅱ) Complexes Based on 2-Carboxylic Acid-4-nitropyridine-1-oxide: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Fluorescence Properties

Three new metal-organic complexes, namely [Zn(POA)2(H2O)2](1), [Zn(POA)2(H2O)2]·2H2O(2) and [Zn(POA)2]n(3), have been synthesized by organic ligand 2-carboxylic acid-4-nitropyridine-1-oxide(POA) and zinc(Ⅱ) ions. The structures of complexes 1~3 are characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, XRD powder diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy and thermal stability analysis method. Complex 1 belongs to monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 22.8215(15), b = 7.5613(16), c = 10.048(3) ?, β = 109.47°, V = 1634.7(6) ?~3, Z = 4, F(000) = 944, Dc = 1.900 g/cm^3, C(12)H(10)N4O(12)Zn, Mr = 467.61 and μ = 1.584 mm^(-1). The whole molecule presents "V" shape. Complex 2 is a centrosymmetric structure in triclinic system with space group P1: a = 7.4728(5), b = 7.6825(6), c = 8.5184(6) ?, α = 65.975(2), β = 79.87(2), γ = 89.855(2)°, V = 4384.1(5) ?~3, Z = 1, F(000) = 256, Dc = 1.908 g/cm^3, C(12)H(14)N4O(14)Zn, Mr = 503.64 and μ = 1.492 mm^(-1). Complex 3 is a one-dimensional chain structure belonging to monoclinic system and space group P21/c with a = 4.9456(6), b = 12.5322(14), c = 11.2514(13) ?, β = 97.313(11)°, V = 6916.8(14) ?~3, Z = 2, F(000) = 432, Dc = 2.072 g/cm^3, C(12)H6N4O(10)Zn, Mr = 431.58, and μ = 1.852 mm^(-1). In three complexes, six oxygen atoms from the surrounding coordination atoms form a ZnO6 distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the zinc ions. Meanwhile, fluorescent properties of the three complexes were investigated at room temperature. The fluorescence spectroscopic analysis demonstrated that the ligand POA shows red-shift after coordinating with the zinc(Ⅱ) ions.
