摘要
Gold(III) chloride (HAuCl4路3H2O) in PEG 400 was found to be an efficient catalytic system for the synthesis of biologically important functionalized spirochromene derivatives via one-pot three-component reaction of isatins/acenaphthoquinone, active methylene compounds and cyclic 1,3-diketones/4-hydroxycoumarin. A new catalytic system, recyclability of reaction medium, little reaction times and excellent yields with easy workup render this protocol more attractive and economically viable.
