Synthesis and application of CoFe₂O₄@THAM@PHG‐SO₃H nanoparticles as a new and highly recyclable nanocatalyst in the one‐pot multicomponent synthesis of 3,4‐dihydropyranochromenes and chromeno[3,4‐b]quinoline‐6‐ones

Abstract

In this study, we have developed a new environmentally‐friendly magnetic nanocatalyst by treating CoFe₂O₄ magnetic nanoparticles with chlorosulfonic acid, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM), 1,2‐dichloroethane, and phloroglucinol (PHG). They confirmed the synthesis of the catalyst using various techniques such as FT‐IR, SEM, MAP, EDS, XRD, TGA, DTA, and VSM. The researchers then evaluated the catalytic efficiency of the nanocatalyst in two reactions: the synthesis of 3,4‐dihydropyranochromenes from the reaction among aromatic aldehydes, 4‐hydroxycoumarin, and malononitrile, and the synthesis of chromeno[3,4‐b]quinoline‐6‐ones from the reaction among aniline, 4‐hydroxycoumarin, and aromatic aldehydes.
