Solvent-free Conditions In Excellent Yields Research Articles

Application of Nanomagnetic Metal-Organic Frameworks in the Green Synthesis of Nicotinonitriles via Cooperative Vinylogous Anomeric-Based Oxidation.

In the current study, we synthesized a new nanomagnetic metal-organic framework Fe3O4@MIL-53(Al)-N(CH2PO3)2 and characterized it using various techniques. This nanomagnetic metal-organic framework was used for the synthesis of a wide range of nicotinonitrile derivatives as suitable drug candidates by a four-component reaction of 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile or 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanenitrile, ammonium acetate (NH4OAc), acetophenone derivatives, and various aldehydes including those bearing electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, and halogen groups, which afforded desired products (27 samples) via a cooperative vinylogous anomeric-based oxidation (CVABO) mechanism under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields (68-90%) and short reaction times (40-60 min). Increasing the surface-to-volume ratio, easy separation of the catalyst using an external magnet, and high chemical and temperature stability are the advantages of the described nanomagnetic metal-organic frameworks.

Sulfonic Acid-Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles as an Efficient Catalyst for the Synthesis of Benzo[4, 5]imidazo[1, 2-a]pyrimidine Derivatives, 2-Aminobenzothia Zolomethylnaphthols and 1-Amidoalkyl-2-naphthols.

Carbon-based sulfonated catalysts have several advantages but their separation by filtration is still a challenge. On the other hand, the synthesis of magnetic sulfonated carbon nanoparticle indicated that the magnetic separation could be an efficient way to separate the catalyst from the reaction mixture. In order to synthesize a separable magnetic Fe3O4@C-SO3H nanoparticle (MNPs) with high catalytic activity in organic transformation, three environmental-benign and low-cost sulfonic acidfunctionalized magnetic nanoparticle (Fe3O4@C-SO3H) were successfully synthesized. The Nano catalysts were prepared by solvothermal carbonization of Sucrose (Suc), Starch (Sta) or Cellulose (Cel) in the presence of Fe3O4 Nanoparticle and then grafting of the sulfonic groups on the surface of resulted Fe3O4@C nanoparticles in the presence of p-Toluenesulfonic. Then the Nano catalysts were characterized using XRD, FESEM and FT-IR. Three Fe3O4@C-SO3H were successfully synthesized. The resulted MNPs were used for the synthesis of benzo [4, 5] imidazo[1, 2-a]-pyrimidine derivatives, 2/-aminobenzothiazolomethylnaphthols and 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. It was found that high catalytic activity and easy magnetic separation from the reaction mixture are important achievement with regard to the efficiency and reusability of the catalyst in synthesis. The MNPs were synthesized and used as an efficient catalysts for the one-pot synthesis of benzo [4, 5] imidazo[1, 2-a]-pyrimidine derivatives, 2/-aminobenzothiazolomethylnaphthols, and 1-amidoalkyl-2- naphthols under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. High catalytic activity and easy magnetic separation from the reaction mixture are two factors for evaluating the performance of Fe3O4@C-SO3H nanoparticles in the organic transformations.

Magnetic nanoparticles supported imidazolium-based ionic liquids as nanocatalyst in microwave-mediated solvent-free Biginelli reaction

The magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles supported imidazolium-based ionic liquids (MNPs–IILs), namely 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (MNPs–IIL–HSO4), 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium acetate (MNPs–IIL–OAc) and 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium chloride (MNPs–IIL–Cl) were used as efficient new catalysts for the one-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. Utilization of easy reaction conditions, catalyst with high catalytic activity and good reusability, and simple magnetically work-up, makes this green protocol as an interesting option for the economic synthesis of Biginelli compounds. Microwave technology as an eco-friendly green synthetic approach has gradually been used in this organic procedure. Combining the advantages of microwave irradiation and magnetically nanocatalyst, this method provides an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction. We believe that this procedure appears to have a broad scope with respect to variation in the 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (thiones). we have developed a rapid, effective, validated and environmental-friendly method for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones (thiones) using Fe3O4 nanoparticles immobilized imidazolium salt catalyst in microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. Reduced reaction times, high turnover frequency, high yields of products, absence of solvent and recyclability of catalyst make our catalyst a valuable system addition to previously reported methods. This green methodology should be amenable to construct new substituted dihydropyrimidinones scaffolds with potential biological applications.

InCl3‐Driven Regioselective Synthesis of Functionalized/Annulated Quinolines: Scope and Limitations

The efficient, regioselective synthesis of functionalized/annulated quinolines was achieved by the coupling of 2-aminoaryl ketones with alkynes/active methylenes/α-oxoketene dithioacetals promoted by InCl(3) in refluxing acetonitrile as well as under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. This transformation presumably proceeded through the hydroamination-hydroarylation of alkynes, and the Friedländer annulation of active methylene compounds and α-oxoketene dithioacetals with 2-aminoarylketones. In addition, simple reductive and oxidative cyclization of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2-aminobenzylalcohol, respectively, afforded substituted quinolines. Systematic optimization of the reaction parameters allowed us to identify two-component coupling (2CC) conditions that were tolerant of a wide range of functional groups, thereby providing densely functionalized/annulated quinolines. This approach tolerates the synthesis of various bioactive quinoline frameworks from the same 2-aminoarylketones under mild conditions, thus making this strategy highly useful in diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS). The scope and limitations of the alkyne-, activated methylene-, and α-oxoketene dithioacetal components on the reaction were also investigated.
