In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Green synthesis of pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolines and pyrido[1,2-a]quinolines using Fe3O4-MNPs as efficient nanocatalyst: Study of antioxidant activity, published in 2020, which mentions a compound: 70-23-5, Name is Ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxopropanoate, Molecular C5H7BrO3, Category: oxazolidine.
In this work, synthesis of pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolines I (R = COOEt, 4-MeOC6H4, 4-MeC6H4, 4-BrC6H4, 4-O2NC6H4) and pyrido[1,2-a]quinolines II (R1 = COOEt, 4-MeOC6H4, 4-MeC6H4) in excellent yields using multicomponent reaction of phthalaldehyde, Me amine, Me malonyl chloride, alkyl bromides, and triphenylphosphine in the presence of catalytic amount of Fe3O4-MNPs and aqueous sodium hydroxide at 80° was investigated. The reduction of ferric chloride solution with Clover Leaf water extract was used for the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-MNPs) as a green method. As well, antioxidant activity was studied for the some newly synthesized compounds such as I (R = COOEt, 4-MeC6H4), II (R1 = 4-MeOC6H4, 4-MeC6H4) using the DPPH radical trapping, reducing of ferric ion experiments and comparing results with synthetic antioxidants (TBHQ and BHT). From the results, the above compounds showed good DPPH radical trapping and excellent reducing strength of ferric ion.
