A New and an Eco‐Friendly Approach for the Construction of Multi‐Functionalized Benzenes with Computational Studies

Abstract

AbstractThe new path chosen is more appropriate in the context of green chemistry. This research aims to construct 5,6,7,8‐tetrahydronaphthalene‐1,3‐dicarbonitrile (THNDC) and 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline‐6,8‐dicarbonitrile (THIDC) derivatives via the cyclization of three easily obtainable reactants under an environmentally benign mortar and pestle grinding technique. Notably, the robust route offers an esteemed opportunity for the introduction of multi‐substituted benzenes and ensures the good compatibility of bioactive molecules. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds are investigated using docking simulations with two representative drugs (6c and 6e) for target validation. The physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, drug‐like properties (ADMET), and therapeutic friendliness characteristics of these synthesized compounds are computed.
