The reactivity of 4-hydroxy-2-chromene-2-thione is investigated with aryl aldehydes and 5,5-dimethylcylohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) in the presence of 20 mol% L-proline in toluene at 90 °C. Instead of the expected linear product with a sulphur atom in the ring provided by 4-hydroxydithiocoumarin or an angular product obtained from 4-hydroxycoumarin, the hitherto unreported products, 12-aryl substituted chromeno[2,3-]chromenes (4), were obtained in good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds through a three-component reaction Knoevenagel condensation between dimedone with an aromatic aldehyde followed by Michael addition with 4-hydroxy-2-chromene-2-thione. In addition, a molecular docking study of all the derivatives was performed and among them, four compounds exhibited anti-proliferative activity and elevated ROS generation in breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines.

The hitherto unreported synthesis of 2-aryl-2,5-thiopyrano[2,3-]thiochromen-5-one derivatives was achieved from 4-hydroxydithiocoumarin and cinnamaldehyde using 20 mol% L-proline, an environmentally benign organocatalyst in methanol under reflux conditions. The current approach involves imine formation, followed by a Mannich reaction, instead of a 1,4-addition or thia-Michael reaction, and finally, cyclization. The salient features of this method are mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good yield, atom economy, and shorter reaction time.

Different deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixtures were studied as reaction media for the continuous synthesis of enantiomerically enriched products by testing different experimental set-ups. L-Proline-catalysed cross-aldol reactions were efficiently performed in continuo, with high yield (99%), stereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). Moreover, using two different DES mixtures, the diastereoselectivity of the process could be tuned, thereby leading to the formation, under different experimental conditions, to both the - and the isomer with very high enantioselectivity.

A series of ethyl 6-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-1,1-dioxo-3,5-diaryl-1,4-thiazinane-2-carboxylates was prepared in good yields (72-90%) from the reaction of ethyl 2-[(2-oxo-2-arylethyl)sulfonyl]acetate, substituted aromatic aldehydes and amines in presence of green catalyst, L-proline. These compounds were evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB), multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and Mycobacterium smegmatis (MC(2)) using agar dilution method.
