The preparation of an eco-friendly, highly stable, reusable nano ZnAl2O4was used as an excellent catalyst for the pseudo four component synthesis of a library of fluorescent chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives.
Abstract Water has been used efficiently as a solvent for the reaction of barbituric acid, aldehyde and urea or thiourea to yield pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines. This environmentally benign procedure leads to high yields of products of greater purity in a single step using water.
