In the presented work, some products have been reported for the first time.


Introduction

Ionic liquids (ILs) have received considerable attention in the last decade, due to their specific properties1 and their applications in chemistry2 including liquid–liquid separations,3 nano materials synthesis,4 biocatalysis,5 polymerization reactions,6 extraction7 and dissolution processes,8 catalysis9 and electrochemistry.10 Ionic liquids mainly have low vapour pressure, non-volatility, high polarity, solubility with certain organic solvents and/or water and good solubility in organic and inorganic materials.11

Multi-component reactions (MCRs) play an important role in combinatorial chemistry due of their capability to preparation of target molecules with atomic economy and high efficiency by the reaction of three or more starting materials together in a single step. Furthermore, this technique increases synthetic efficacy and simplicity of the reaction with respect to the conventional organic transformations.12,13

Recently, much attention has been focused on the multi-component synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds (1,4-DHP) because of their variation in biological activities such as Ca2+ channel blockers.14 Furthermore, they also have communal types of several bio active compounds such as bronchodilators, hepatoprotective, vasodilators, anti-tumor, anti-atherosclerotic and anti-diabetic agents for the behavior of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension.15 The recent investigations reveal that 1,4-DHP exhibit ions some medicinal applications which contain cerebral anti chemic activity in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease,16 platelet anti aggregators activity,17 neuro protectant18 and chemo sensitizer acting in tumor therapy.19 Recently, these compounds have been synthesized in the presence of [pyridine-SO3H]Cl,20 [Dsim]HSO4,21 TiO2 NPs,22 SnO2 NPs,23 [2-MPyH]OTf,24 Ni-nanoparticle,25 Baker's yeast,26 L-proline,27 [bmim]BF4,28 solvent-free conditions on grinding,29 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium iodide.30 Although several catalysts for this transformation are known, newer catalysts continue to attract attention for their difference with the others, high novelty and effectiveness.

In continuation to our studies involving the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine,31–34 preparation and applications of ionic liquids in organic synthesis,13,20,35,36 we have prepared a novel ionic liquid and catalyst namely 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} and employed it for the preparation of polyhydroquinoline derivatives under solvent-free reaction conditions (Schemes 1 and 2).

Results and discussion

Characterization of 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide {[HMIM]C(NO2)3}

The structure of 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide as a novel nano ionic liquid and catalyst was prepared and identified by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass, TG, DTG, XRD and TEM analysis.

The IR spectrum of the nano ionic liquid indicated an abroad peak at 3144 cm−1 which can be related to N–H stretching group on imidazolium ring. Additionally, the two peaks observed at 1584 cm−1 and 1383 cm−1 correspond to vibrational modes of NO2 bonds (Fig. 1).

Furthermore, the 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of the 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide in DMSO-d6 are displayed in Fig. 2 and 3. As Fig. 2 and 3, indicates that, the important peak of 1H NMR spectra of nano ionic liquid catalyst is linked to the acidic hydrogen (NH group on imidazolium ring) which is observed in δ = 14.30 ppm.

Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) of 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide as a novel nano ionic liquid catalyst was also studied. The constant illustrations are revealed in Fig. 4 and 5. The thermo gravimetry (TG) and derivative thermo gravimetry (DTG) illustrations of the ionic liquid catalyst exhibited weight losses in one step, and decomposition after about 150 °C.

Size, shape and morphology of the nano ionic liquid catalyst were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern sand transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging techniques. XRD patterns of the catalyst {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} was studied in a domain of 10–90 degree (Fig. 6). As shown at Fig. 6, XRD patterns exhibited diffraction lines of a high crystalline nature at 2θ ≈ 16.70°, 19.70°, 26.60°, 29.70°, 37.10° and 40.00°. Peak width (FWHM), size and inter planer distance studies of the catalyst could be worked out in the 16.70 to 40.00 degree and results have been summarized in Table 1. As example, calculations for the highest diffraction line 19.70° confirmed that an FWHM of 0.22 a crystallite size of the catalyst of ca. 36.67 nm via the Scherrer equation [D = /(β[thin space (1/6-em)]cos[thin space (1/6-em)]θ)] and an inter planer distance of 0.450109 nm (sing the same highest diffraction line at 19.70°) was calculated to be via the Bragg equation: dhkl = λ/(2[thin space (1/6-em)]sin[thin space (1/6-em)]θ), (λ: Cu radiation (0.154178 nm)) were obtained. Most importantly, crystallite sizes as obtained from the various diffraction lines using the Scherrer equation were found to be in the nanometer range (36.67–62.45 nm), which is fundamentally in a good accordance with the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Fig. 7).

Application of 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide as an ionic liquid catalyst

After the synthesis of 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide as a novel nano ionic liquid catalyst, to optimize the reaction conditions, we have tested the efficiency of the catalyst in the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives (Scheme 2). For this purpose, as a model, the condensation reaction of 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, dimedone, methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate was investigated using different amounts of the catalyst at range of 25–125 °C under solvent-free conditions (Table 2). As Table 2, indicates that, the best results were obtained when the reaction was achieved in the presence of 0.5 mol% of nano ionic liquid catalyst at room temperature (Table 2, entry 3). No improvement in the reaction results was observed by increasing the amount of the catalysts and the temperature (Table 2, entries 4–11).

To compare the efficiency of the solution versus solvent-free conditions, a mixture of 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, dimedone, methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate, as model reaction, in the presence of 0.5 mol% of nano ionic liquid catalyst in some various solvents such as C2H5OH, H2O, CH2Cl2, CH3CN and CH3CO2Et was studied at room temperature. The results are summarized in Table 3. As it can be realized in Table 3, solvent-free condition was the best conditions in this reaction.

Stimulated by the significant results, and in order to confirmation of generalization and scope of this new procedure, various polyhydroquinoline derivatives were synthesized from the Hantzsch four-component condensation reaction of different aromatic aldehydes, 1,3-dione, β-ketoester and ammonium acetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} as a nano ionic liquid catalyst under solvent-free reaction conditions. The results have been depicted in Table 4. All aromatic aldehydes including benzaldehyde and aldehydes containing electron-releasing substituents, electron-withdrawing substituents and halogens on their aromatic ring afforded the analogous products in high to excellent yields in short reaction times. The reaction times of aromatic aldehydes having electron withdrawing groups were rather faster than electron donating groups. However meta- and para- substituted aromatic aldehydes offered excellent results, ortho-substituted aromatic aldehydes provided slightly lower yields due to the steric effects.

In a proposed mechanism (Scheme 3), we suggest that at first dimedone is converted to its enol form using {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} and reacted to activated aldehyde by {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} to give intermediate I. On the other hand, the activated β-ketoester (by the catalyst) and ammonia (resulted from ammonium acetate) affords enamine II. Afterward, the intermediate I and enamine II react with each other to give intermediate III. III is converted to IV by tautomerization, and intermediate IV affords V by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the NH2 group to the activated carbonyl group. Finally, polyhydroquinonine forms by removing one molecule H2O. It should be mentioned that in the mentioned steps, {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} gives a proton for the activation of carbonyl groups and then the proton is transferred to the catalyst in another steps. The mechanism is confirmed by the literature.20,21

Additionally, recyclability of the catalyst was tested upon the condensation of between 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, dimedone, methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate. At the end of the reaction, ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture and heated to extract product and remained starting materials. This solution was washed with water to separate catalyst from the other materials (the product is soluble in hot ethyl acetate and nano ionic liquid catalyst is soluble in water). The aqueous layer was decanted, separated and used for alternative reaction after removing of water. We have been observed that the catalytic activity of the catalyst was restored within the limits of the experimental errors for six continuous runs (Fig. 8).

The reused catalyst was also characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra after its application in the reaction. These spectra were same as those of the fresh catalyst (Fig. S4 and S5). Also the size of the catalyst was studied after the recovery process by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. This study was showed that the catalyst was recovered in nano size. The related pictures were added in Fig. S6.

Conclusions

In this work, a novel, green and reusable catalyst namely 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} was designed and fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, mass, X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Catalytic application of {[HMIM]C(NO2)3} was studied on the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the four-component reaction of various aromatic aldehydes, 1,3-dione, β-ketoester and ammonium acetate at room temperature under solvent-free and mild conditions. Additional investigations showed that the nano ionic liquids acidity plays a key role in the acid-catalyzed reactions. Some important advantages of this work are low cost, cleaner reaction profile, relatively short reaction time, high yield, ease of product isolation, recyclability of the catalyst and compliance with the green chemistry protocols.

General procedure for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives

To a mixture of 1,3-dione (1 mmol), aromatic aldehyde (1 mmol), β-ketoester (1 mmol) and ammonium acetate (1 mmol) in a test tube, was added 1-methylimidazolium trinitromethanide as a novel nano ionic liquid catalyst (0.5 mol%), and the resulting mixture was firstly stirred magnetically under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC (n-hexane/ethyl acetate: 4/1) ethyl acetate (10 mL) was added to reaction mixture, stirred and refluxed for 3 min, and then was washed with water (10 mL) and decanted to separate catalyst from the other materials (the reaction mixture was soluble in hot ethyl acetate and nano ionic liquid catalyst was soluble in water). The aqueous layer was decanted and catalyst separated after removing of water. The remained catalyst was used for alternative reaction. The solvent of organic layer was evaporated and the crude product was purified by recrystallization from ethanol (95%). In this study, nano ionic liquid catalyst was recycled and reused for six times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
