APPLICATION OF SULFONIC ACID FUNCTIONALIZED NANOPOROUS SILICA (SBA-Pr-SO3H) FOR THE PREPARATION OF 4,6-DIARYLPYRIMIDIN-2(1H)-ONES

Abstract

In this work, we report the Biginelli-type reaction between various aldehydes, acetophenones and urea systems in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) under solvent-free conditions, which led to 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives. SBA-Pr-SO3H with a pore size of 6 nm was found to be an efficient heterogeneous solid acid catalyst for this reaction which led to high product yields, was environmentally benign with short reaction times and easy handling.

EXPERIMENTAL

All chemicals were obtained commercially and utilized without further purification. IR spectra were recorded from KBr disk using a FT-IR Bruker Tensor 27 instrument. Melting points were measured by using the capillary tube method with an electro thermal 9200 apparatus. The 1Kappe, C. O.; Acc. Chem. Res. 2000, 33, 879.H NMR (250 MHz) was recorded on a Bruker DPX at 250 MHz using TMS as an internal standard. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was achieved on an Agilent 6890-5973 GC/MS detector. Also, SEM analysis was performed on a Philips XL-30 field-emission scanning electron microscope operated at 16 kV while Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was performed on a Tecnai G2Bose, D.

Preparation of SBA-15-Pr-SO3H

The modified SBA-Pr-SO3H used as a solid acid catalyst in the following reaction was synthesized and functionalized according to our previous report.3838 Kidwai, S.; Saxena, S.; Khalilur, M.; Thukral, S. S.; Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2005, 40, 816.

General procedure for the preparation of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives (4a-4i): The SBA-Pr-SO3H (0.05 g) was activated in vacuum at 100 ºC and then cooled to room temperature. The aromatic aldehydes 1 (1 mmol), acetophenones 2 (1 mmol) and urea 3 (1 mmol), and SBA-Pr-SO3H (0.05 g) were heated at 110 ºC for the appropriated time, as mentioned in Table 2. The completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, the crude product was dissolved in hot ethanol and then the catalyst was removed by filtration. Ultimately, pure crystals of compounds 4a-4i were obtained from filtrates.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In continuation of our interest in the developing of green methodologies and the synthesis of diverse heterocyclic compounds of pharmaceutical importance, we report herein the synthesis of some 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones 4a-4i derivatives under neat condition. Thus, a three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes 1, acetophenones 2 and urea 3, in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) as catalyst at 110 ºC, has been shown to give 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives 4a-4i in excellent yields (Scheme 2). However, 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones has been prepared4040 Wang, Z. T.; Xu, L. W.; Xia, C. G.; Wang, H. Q.; Tetrahedron Lett. 2004, 45, 7951. from the reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic ketones, and urea using a Lewis acid (FeCl3•6H2O-TMSCl) as catalyst; but we did not find 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones in our investigation. In addition, the crucial role of catalysis, solvent effects, mechanisms, kinetics and etc. in the Biginelli reactions are discussed in the recently published articles.4141 Alvim, H. G. O.; Lima, T.

Synthesis of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones using SBA-Pr-SO3H as catalyst

As can be seen in Table 1, we found that the yield of 4a improved and the reaction time was shortened when the reaction would proceed at 110 ºC under solvent free condition (entries 1-5). After optimization of the reaction condition, the generality of this method was demonstrated with respect to six different aromatic aldehydes and four acetophenones, and the results were summarized in Table 2. On the base of our investigation, we also find out that the nature of substitute groups in the aldehydes or ketones has no significant effect in this reaction. Completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC, the crude product was dissolved in hot ethanol, the heterogeneous solid catalyst was removed by simple filtration, and the pure crystals of the desired products (4a-4i) were obtained and characterize by IR, mass spectrometric analysis and 1Kappe, C.

The acid catalyst can also be reused without significant loss of activity by simple washing subsequently with diluted acid solution, water and acetone.

Optimization of different conditions in the synthesis of compound 4a

According to proposed mechanism in Scheme 3, the condensation of aryl aldehyde 1 and urea 3 catalyzed by SBA-Pr-SO3H lead to the preparation of iminium intermediate 7 that followed by the nucleophilic addition of acetophenones 2 to give the intermediate 8, which consequently undergoes the ring closure by the nucleophilic attack of the amine onto the carbonyl group. Subsequently proton transfer, dehydration and oxidation results in the formation of adduct compound 4.

As illustrated in the Table 3, comparison of the effectiveness of various catalysts used in the synthesis of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives is shown the advantages of current methodology. The simplicity, low reaction time and high yields of products under a green condition are resulted from the efficiency of sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) as a heterogeneous nano catalyst.

Table 3
Comparison of different conditions for the synthesis of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1ff)-ones derivatives

As preparation of SBA-Pr-SO3H is illustrated in Figure 1, the calcined SBA-15 silica was functionalized with (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTS) and then, the thiol groups were oxidized to sulfonic acid by hydrogen peroxide. Different methods such as TGA, BET and CHN methods were employed to analyze the surface of the catalyst which was demonstrated that the organic groups (propyl sulfonic acid) were immobilized into the pores.2929 Lashgari, N.; Mohammadi Ziarani, G.; Badiei, A.; Gholamzadeh, P.; Eur. J. Chem. 2012, 3, 310.

Preparation of SBA-Pr-SO3H

The SEM and TEM images of SBA-Pr-SO3H are illustrated in Figure 2. Uniform particles about 1 mm is shown in the SEM image (Figure 2a) as the same for SBA-15. It could be find out that morphology of solid was saved without change during the surface modification. Also, the TEM image (Figure 2b) shows the parallel channels as the pores configuration of SBA-15, indicating that the pore of modified catalyst was not collapsed. Nanopore size of SBA-Pr-SO3H act as a nano-reactor in the syntheses of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones compounds.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, a mild and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives has been developed through a one-pot Biginelli reaction under neat condition according to green chemistry using SBA-Pr-SO3H as a nano reactor with the pore size of 6 nm. In addition, the results are shown that the reaction takes place easily in the nano-pores of catalyst.4646 Mohammadi Ziarani, G.; Lashgari, N.; Badiei, A.; J. Mol. Catal. A 2015, 397, 166. The attractive features of this simple procedure are short reaction time, excellent yields, simple workup, the reusability of catalyst, and non-chromatographic purification of products.
