A simple protocol for the green synthesis of a new series of pyrimido[4,5b][1,6]naphthyridines in the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)

Abstract

Eight polyfunctionalized pyrimidonaphthyridine derivatives has been synthesized, in 79-92% yields, via the one-pot, three-component reaction of aryl glyoxal monohydrates, 6-aminouracil and 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one in H2O/EtOH in the presence of AgNPs under mild conditions. In this work colloidal AgNPs acts as an efficient, economical, green nanocatalyst, leading to a simple method of preparation.
