Abstract
Silica supported polyphosphoric acid (SiO2-PPA) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst was found to be effective for the one-pot three-component condensation reaction of phenyl acetylene/1-hexyne, aromatic aldehyde and benzamide/acetamide to produce a series of N,N′-alkylidene bisamides. The desired products were obtained in good to high yields. The assistance of alkynes has been confirmed by using thin layer chromatographic (TLC) studies. All the reactions were done at 100 °C using 0.025 g of catalyst. The developed method is valid for either substituted aldehyde, thus it constitutes a general synthetic method for these kinds of compounds. In all the cases aromatic aldehydes containing electron-withdrawing groups gave shorter time than that with electron-donating groups. Additionally, the reaction of butyraldehyde with benzamide failed to have any product in the presence of phenyl acetylene but with 1-hexyne the product was formed in moderate yield.
