An efficient contemporary multicomponent synthesis for the facile access to coumarin-fused new thiazolyl chromeno[4,3-b]quinolones in aqueous micellar medium

Coumarin-fused polycyclic chromenoquinolone derivatives were synthesized in CTAB/water system with high yields. This protocol is competent, feasible, and sequential one-pot multicomponent path for the building of titled products. In this projected route solvents, catalysts and surfactants are optimized, and the excellent results were achieved by CTAB in water. CTAB/water has efficiently catalyzed the synthesis of new thiazolyl chromenoquinolone heterocycles and avoids the use of hazardous conventional organic solvents. The synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, mass, H-1 NMR spectral, and elemental analysis. This report represents the first case in which surfactant CTAB has been explored in the synthesis of fused chromenoquinolones in water. A probable reaction mechanism has been established to know the role of CTAB.
