A simple, efficient, and green procedure has been developed for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones (Products of Biginelli) using phosphate fertilizers (mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and triple super phosphate (TSP)) as catalyst. The one-step reaction involved the three compounds, which are registered aromatic aldehydes, dicarbonyl compounds and the urea/thiourea. This new method provides some advantages such as obtaining excellent yields (98%), as well as the short duration of the reaction, which may attain 2 minutes. These catalytic heterogeneous systems present also the advantage of being easily recycled.
In this work, we have developed a simple and very effective experimental strategy for the reaction of Knoevenagel via the condensation of aromatic aldehydes substituted with active methylene compounds in the presence of hybrid nanocomposites xMCl 2-yNaPO 3 (MCl 2 ¼ 2,2 0-dibenzimidazolyl butane dichlorhydrates), under ecological conditions. The Phosphate-Benzimidazole hybrid nanocomposite as heterogeneous catalysts has demonstrated a high catalytic activity for the Knoevenagel condensation in ethanol as an ecological solvent. It has several advantages such as light reaction conditions, a simple and ecological working procedure. Meanwhile, xMCl 2-yNaPO 3 can be recovered by simple filtration and this catalytic system having an interesting lifetime (five cycles) with no decrease in activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
