Sulfonic acid bonded on silica-coated silver nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst promoted four-component preparation of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles
摘要
In this study, the catalytic activity of sulfonic acid bonded on silica-coated silver nanoparticles (Ag@SiO2–SO3H) was investigated as an acidic heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot four-component preparation of several of pyrano[3,2-c]pyrazole derivatives by the reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile, hydrazine, and various aryl aldehydes at 80 °C in the absence of solvent. This method was performed under environmentally friendly and mild conditions, without the use of harmful solvents. The products were easily separated and purified in high yields.
