Abstract

A series of highly reusable heterogeneous catalysts (10-40 wt.% SiMo12/Al2O3), consisting of molybdosilicic acid (SiMo12) impregnated on alumina (Al2O3) support was synthesized by the wetness impregnation method. The physicochemical properties of synthesized catalyst were studied using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, BET and TG-DTA analysis techniques. The study proves that the synthesized SiMo12 catalyst efficiently incorporated on the surface of Al2O3. The catalytic activity of prepared catalyst was investigated for the synthesis of pyranopyrazole(6-amino-4-phenyl-3-methyl-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5carbonitrile) via cyclocondensation reaction of aldehydes, malononitrile, hydrazine hydrate and ethyl-acetoacetate under solvent-free conditions. Among different catalysts, 30% SiMo12 supported on to Al2O3 showed the highest catalytic activity. High yield, shorter reaction time, operational simplicity, solvent-free conditions and reusability of the catalyst are the distinct features of this protocol.
