Overview

This research focused on developing a sustainable and environmentally responsible synthetic methodology for the preparation of pyrano-pyrazolo-quinolinone scaffolds using a naturally derived deep eutectic solvent (Meg-Malo). The study aimed to demonstrate how green chemistry principles can be integrated into heterocyclic synthesis while maintaining high reaction efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and operational simplicity.

Research Objectives

• Develop an environmentally benign synthetic methodology.
• Utilize Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NaDES) as a sustainable reaction medium.
