On the Enantioselective Phosphoric-Acid-Catalyzed Hantzsch Synthesis of Polyhydroquinolines

Silica sulfuric acid coated on SnFe2O4 MNPs: synthesis, characterization and catalytic applications in the synthesis of polyhydroquinolines

An efficient and heterogeneous novel magnetic solid sulfuric acid, immobilized on silica functionalized SnFe₂O₄, was successfully synthesized, characterized, and employed as a novel recoverable nanocatalyst for the synthesis of biologically active polyhydroquinoline derivatives. The SnFe₂O₄@SiO₂-SO₃H was easily synthesized and confirmed using various spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, EDX, Map, TGA, SEM and TEM analyses. The catalytic behavior of the resulting catalyst system was investigated in the Hantzsch synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives. The desired products were obtained with high conversions and excellent reusability.

Synthesis and characterization of novel hercynite@sulfuric acid and its catalytic applications in the synthesis of polyhydroquinolines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones

Herein, we report the synthesis of hercynite@sulfuric acid as a novel nanomagnetic solid acid catalyst, containing the sulfuric acid catalytic sites on the surface of hercynite MNPs as the catalytic support. The as-synthesized nanocomposite was meticulously characterized using a wide range of physicochemical techniques; including, FT-IR, XRD, EDX, X-ray-mapping, SEM and VSM analysis. The catalytic activity of this nanomagnetic material was considered for the synthesis of the diversely substituted polyhydroquinolines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones under solvent free conditions and also cyclocondensation reactions in ethanol, respectively affording good to excellent yields. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the heterogeneity of the catalyst was measured through its excellent reusability and hot-filtration test.
