Ultrasound-promoted convenient and ionic liquid [BMIM]BF4 assisted green synthesis of diversely functionalized pyrazolo quinoline core via one-pot multicomponent reaction, DFT study and pharmacological evaluation
An ultrasound-assisted green protocol for one-pot synthesis of a new series of pharmaceutically relevant pyrazolo quinoline derivatives ( 4a–t ) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated using DFT and biological activities. Pyrazolo quinoline derivatives ( 4a–t ) were synthesized via a three-co...

Summary: | An ultrasound-assisted green protocol for one-pot synthesis of a new series of pharmaceutically relevant pyrazolo quinoline derivatives (
4a–t
) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated using DFT and biological activities. Pyrazolo quinoline derivatives (
4a–t
) were synthesized via a three-component tandem reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound (
1a–b),
substituted aromatic aldehyde (
2a–o),
and 5-amino indazole (
3a
) in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM]BF

ionic liquid in ethanol at ambient conditions. The main purpose of the present work is selective functionalization of pyrazolo quinoline (
4a–t
) core excluding another potential parallel reaction under environmentally benign reaction conditions. The present protocol shows features such as amphiphilic behavior of ionic liquid during reaction transformation, and reusability of the [BMIM]BF
4
ionic liquid under mild reaction condition. All newly derived compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Among them, compound
4c
showed encouraging antioxidant activity compared with standard antioxidant ascorbic acid, and compounds
4n
and
4r
displayed very good anti-inflammatory activity compared with a standard drug. In this study, a theoretical computational density functional study was also executed to perform the geometry optimizations, frontier molecular orbital approach, and molecular electrostatic potential (MESP). The DFT study was carried out with the basis set DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G (d, p) level of theory. The quantum chemical descriptors (QCDS) and MESP diagrams were plotted to examine the biological reactivities of representative pyrazolo quinolines (
4a–t
).
