Abstract

A rapid, straightforward, and highly efficient one-pot synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives and spiro-conjugated pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole has been developed based on newly introduced and environmentally benign Brønsted-acidic ionic liquid catalyst [DMBSI]HSO4 via one-pot four-component reaction under solvent-free conditions. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against both gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis) bacteria.
