Abstract

A green and efficient method for the synthesis of chromene derivatives using TiO2 doped Ag as a photocatalyst under visible light irradiation at room temperature is reported. The advantages of our method are clean reaction condition, easy workup procedure, use of eco-friendly solvent, and recyclable catalyst and most importantly higher yield of the product. The photocatalyst was found to be highly efficient for the synthesis of chromene derivatives within a short reaction time. The photocatalyst was prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and powder XRD technique and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In addition, the in-vitro study of helminths against S. obvelata were investigated and it was found that chromene derivatives were active against S. obvelata and showed no sign of acute toxicity in mice.
