Abstract

An efficient one-pot synthesis of xanthene and chromene derivatives by three-component reactions of aryl aldehydes, cyclic 1,3-diketones, and 2-naphthol/4-hydroxy coumarin catalyzed by ionic liquid (IL) [bmim][PF6] under microwave irradiation is described. The present scheme provides several advantages such as short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, good yields, convenient operation, and reuse of IL. In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated for the synthesized compounds by DPPH method. Compounds 6a, 6h, 6c, 6b, 4k, and 4a showed the highest antioxidant potency.
