Abstract

Abstract: An eco‐friendly reaction protocol was developed for the synthesis of heterocyclic hybrid scaffolds through bioisosteric replacement and scaffold hopping approach. The isosteric analogues of salicylaldehyde were designed, identified/synthesized and employed in a three component reaction to afford bioisosteric analogues of 4‐aryl‐4 H ‐chromenes. Thus central core swapping of benzene‐pyridine/pyrazole ring on 4‐aryl‐4 H ‐chromenes was achieved under simple one‐pot reaction conditions and easy work‐up. Docking studies show that almost all the compounds possess good binding affinities at the colchicine binding site of tubulin.
