“…A common protocol for the synthesis of THDPP is the reaction of aldehydes, hydrazine hydrate, ethyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate in a multi-component manner with the presence of a catalyst. Previously, pseudopolymeric magnetic nanoparticles [ 13 ], KCC-1-NH 2 -DPA [ 14 ], CuFe 2 O 4 @HNTs [ 15 ], acetic acid [ 16 ], and carbonaceous material (CSO 3 H) [ 17 ], Fe 3 O 4 /KCC1/IL/HPWMNPs [ 24 ], Nano-CdZr 4 (PO 4 ) 6 [ 25 ], Nano-Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –SO 3 H [ 23 ], FeNi 3 -ILs MNPs [ 21 ], Nano-CuCr 2 O 4 [ 26 ], Nano-ovalbumin [ 20 ], M(II)/Schiff base@MWCNT-Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 [ 27 ]. Meanwhile, a catalyst free protocol using ammonium carbonate instead of ammonium acetate has been reported [ 16 ], Ammonium carbonate is a basic salt and can catalysis the synthesis of THDPP’s.…”
