Abstract

A series of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans derivatives were synthesized with substituted pyrazole carbaldehydes, malononitrile and dimedone by ecofriendly L-proline catalyst in aqueous ethanol. The synthesized compounds were characterized using FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectral techniques. This method holds the advantages of one-pot multicomponent, simple synthetic route, mild reaction conditions, high yield, use of less toxic chemicals and use of eco-friendly catalyst. We also report the study of the synthetic protocol by green chemistry metrics indicates a green relevance. Also, synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Most of the tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans derivatives exhibit excellent activity.

Graphical abstract

A series of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans derivatives were synthesized with substituted pyrazole carbaldehydes, malononitrile and dimedone using eco-friendly L-proline as a catalyst in aqueous ethanol. We also report the examination of the synthetic protocol by green chemistry metrics suggests that synthetic protocol has green relevance. Anti-inflammatory activity and antioxidant activity for tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives are performed. Some of the synthesized compounds showed excellent anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant activity.
