Abstract The 2-alkenylthiopyranoquinoline-3-carbalde-
hyde derived from 2-mercaptoquinoline-3-carbaldehyde
and citral underwent smooth domino Knoevenagel/hetero-
Diels–Alder reaction with heterocyclic mono- or diketones
in tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate under solvent-free
conditions and afforded a new class of thiochromenoqui-
noline-fused heterocycles in good yields. The reaction is
highly diasteroselective and can be applied to analogues of
carbocyclic diketones as well. The stereochemistry of the
products was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction
and 2D NMR NOESY data.

Introduction
Quinoline-fused heterocycles are interesting biomolecules
of enormous importance in the development of medicinal
chemistry [1–10]. Chromenoquinolines, for example,
known to exhibit bacteriostatic and anti-inflammatory
activities [11, 12], have a potential estrogen receptor b-
selectivity. As glucocorticoids [13–15], they also have
therapeutic action in Alzheimer’s disease [16]. Their
reduced forms, dihydrochromenoquinolines, have desirable
tissue-selective profiles in rodents. They are effective in
fertility regulation and breast cancer treatment. Besides,
they are mixed-type electric eel acetylcholinesterase (Ee-
AChE) inhibitors [17] and active pharmacophores for
selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMS) [18].
The quinoline-fused thiopyrans, on the other hand, have
remarkable therapeutic profiles. Antioxidant 2H-thiopyr-
ano[2,3-b]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid [19], metabotropic
glutamate receptor antagonist 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyr-
ano[2,3-b]quinoline [20], and anticancer MT477 [21] are
potential candidates from this family. Chromenes are
inhibitors of many receptors [22–26]. Recently, thiochro-
menoquinolines were reported to have in vitro antihepatitis
B virus activity even higher than that of lamivudine [27].
Bioisosterism has been of notable interest in the drug
discovery process [28–30]. The replacement of the pyran
unit of antiproliferative pyranoquinolines [31–34] by a
thiopyran ring [35–37] may produce thiopyranoquinolines
with improved liophilicity as well as antioxidant properties
[38–41]. Moreover, thioflavones, as bioisosteres of flav-
ones, are relatively potent vasorelaxant agents [42].
In view of the above, it would seem quite probable that
the fusion of a quinoline ring to thiopyran in addition to the
presence of another pyran moiety would produce a mole-
cule having interesting bioprofiles. The domino
Knoevenagel/hetero-Diels–Alder (DKHDA) strategy [43–
53] is a powerful tool to construct pyran-annulated het-
erocycles. It has been applied to many olefin-ether-tethered
aldehyde substrates, which are derived from pyrazo-
lone, coumarin, quinoline, indole, pyran, and pyridine
[54, 55]. To the best of our knowledge, however, no

thiopyranoquinoline unit has been yet used in the strategy
[56–60]. So far, we have designed and employed deriva-
tives of salicylaldehyde and acetophenones in an improved
solvent-free DKHDA protocol [61–63]. In the present
work, we report 2-alkenyl-thiopyranoquinoline-3-carbal-
dehydes and their assemblies with mono/diketones in
tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate (TBA-HS) under
solvent-free conditions. All new thiochromeno-fused het-
erocycles are expected to display new bioprofiles. Further,
the use of a phase transfer catalyst is more effective and
eco-friendly. In combination with the atom-economic and
cost-effective qualities of the strategy, it will provide a
greener synthetic approach [64–72]. With its reduced
number of synthetic steps, careful use of resources, and
avoidance of toxic reagents and solvents [73–81], the
multicomponent domino strategy [82–89] afford many
bioactive molecules, natural products, and pharmaceuticals
[90–92].
Results and discussion
Both 2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-3-penten-1-yl)-2H-thiopyrano
[2,3-b]quinoline-3-carbaldehydes, 3a and 3b, were
obtained as new DKHDA dienophile-tethered-aldehyde
substrates in 73 and 81 % yields, respectively, by thia-
Michael–Aldol reaction [93–98] of the corresponding
2-mercaptoquinoline-3-carbaldehydes 1a and 1b with citral
(2) in ethylenediamine diacetate (EDDA) in refluxing tol-
uene (Scheme 1). The reaction between aldehyde 3a and
diketone 4a was considered as a model study to optimize
the reaction conditions displayed in Table 1 (Scheme 2).
The presence and absence of InCl3 (entries 1, 2), EDDA
(entry 3), LiClO4 (entries 5 and 9), and TBA-HS (entries 8,
11–14) in solvent-free conditions (entries 2 and 4) as well
as refluxing acetonitrile, xylene, and toluene were screened
to observe the reaction between 3a and 4a. Note that the
reaction performed in the absence and presence of CuI in
refluxing acetonitrile yielded traces of products (data not
shown). Table 1 reveals that TBA-HS in both the solvent-
free conditions and refluxing xylene improves the reaction.
With 20 mol% catalyst, the desired product was formed in
61 % yield (entry 11). Improved results were obtained by
using 25 mol% TBA-HS at 120 �C. Further increases in
the amount of catalyst did not improve the yield. Prolonged
(12 h) heating was the drawback of the reaction in catalyst-
and solvent-free conditions at 100 �C. Other products 5–14
were, thus, obtained by using 25 mol% TBA-HS in sol-
vent-free conditions at 120 �C (Table 2).
All new heterocycles 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14 were
characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral
data. The cis-fusion between pyran and carbocyclic (of
thiochromeno) rings was found in all heterocycles. A sin-
glet in the d = 1.62–1.63 ppm range was assigned to
bridgehead methyl (8a-Me) protons. A doublet in the
3.57–3.94 ppm range with J = 1.6–8.4 Hz was attributed
to the Hb proton and multiplets in the 2.17–2.48 ppm range
to the Ha proton (Fig. 1). A singlet observed in the
5.93–6.14 ppm range was attributed to the thiopyran-
methine (16-CH) proton. The formation of regioisomers
13a–13d or 14a–14d was confirmed by the appearance of
the following 13C NMR peaks; one in the
d = 163–169 ppm range due to the lactone carbonyl in
13a–13d and another one in the 177–179 ppm range due to
the keto-carbonyl in 14a–14d. In the IR spectra, a char-
acteristic band due to the C–O–C linkage of pyran was
observed in the 1,110–1,165 cm-1 range. Similarly, the C–
S–C linkage of thiopyran showed a band in the
650–710 cm-1 range. The apparent correlation between
bridgehead Ha and Hb protons, found in the 2.0–4.0 ppm
range by NOESY (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy)

for 5a as a representative example, favors the cis-fusion
between pyran and central carbocyclic (of thiochromeno)
rings (Fig. 1). Finally, the stereochemistry of 5a was
unambiguously confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray dif-
fraction data (Figs. 2, 3).
In addition, the stereochemistry of the reaction was also
confirmed on the basis of the spectral data. In the present
work, the cis-fusion of the central pyran with the carbo-
cyclic (of thiochromeno) ring indicates that the reaction
proceeds via the most favored endo-E-syn transition state
out of the four possible states: exo-E-anti, endo-E-syn, exo-
Z-syn, and endo-Z-anti (Scheme 3) [43, 44].
Conclusion
We have described a highly efficient method for the
synthesis of new thiochromeno[2,3-b]quinoline-fused
heterocycles via DKHDA reaction in TBA-HS in sol-
vent-free conditions. None of the newly synthesized
heterocycles has had their biological properties evalu-
ated before, and they are anticipated to have interesting
new bioactivities. Further, the TBA-HS used in the work
contributed significantly to the development of this
environmentally friendly processes. Finally, the reaction

major products.
Experimental
All solvents and reagents were used as supplied from
commercial sources. IR spectra were recorded in KBr on a
Shimadzu FT-IR 8401 spectrometer and are reported in
wavenumbers (cm-1). 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were
recorded on a Bruker Avance 400 spectrometer operating
at 400 MHz for 1H NMR and 100 MHz for 13C NMR in
CDCl3, unless otherwise indicated. Chemical shifts are
reported as parts per million (d, ppm) and referenced to the
residual protic solvent. Coupling constants are reported in
hertz (Hz). Splitting patterns are designated as s, singlet; d,
doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; br, broad; m, multiplet; comp,
complex multiplet. The degree of substitution (C, CH, CH2,
and CH3) was determined by the APT method. UV spectra
were record on a Shimadzu 160-A spectrometer. The ESI
mass spectra were measured on a Shimadzu LCMS-2010
spectrometer. TLC was performed on Merck 60 F254
precoated silica plates; spots were detected either by UV
(254 nm, 366 nm) or dipping into a permanganate (3 g
KMnO4, 20 g K2CO3, 5 cm3 5 % NaOH, 300 cm3 H2O) or
an anisaldehyde solution (3 % p-methoxybenzaldehyde
and 1 % H2SO4 in MeOH) or 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine
solution (12 g 2,4-DNP, 6 cm3 conc. H2SO4, 8 cm3 water,
20 cm3 EtOH) followed by heating.
General procedure for the synthesis of thiopyrano-
[2,3-b]quinoline-3-carbaldehydes 3a, 3b
To a solution of 2-mercaptoquinoline-3-carbaldehydes 1
(1.0 mmol) and citral (1.4 mmol) in 20 cm3 toluene was
added ethylenediamine diacetate (0.4 mmol) at room
temperature and the mixture was refluxed for 4–5 h. The
reaction mass was cooled to room temperature and then
evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure leaving an
oily residue, which was purified further by column chro-
matography on silica gel, using a n-hexane/ethyl acetate
mixture as eluent.
