Novel Magnetically Separable Sulfated Boric Acid Functionalized Nanoparticles for Hantzsch Ester Synthesis

This article is dedicated to the memory of Mansour Sattari.

Abstract

A novel, separable, solid-acid catalyst consisting of sulfated boric acid nanoparticles immobilized on a silica-coated magnetite support was prepared. This catalyst permits the preparation of dihydropyridine derivatives (Hantzsch esters) by condensation of an aldehyde with two equivalents of a β-keto ester in the presence of ammonium acetate. The catalyst can be recovered and recycled.

Key words

magnetic separation - nanostructures - catalyst - dihydropyridines - boric acid

• 19 Silica-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by dissolving FeCl₃·6H₂O (10 mmol) and FeCl₂·4H₂O (5 mmol) in deionized H₂O (100 mL) with vigorous stirring (800 rpm), and then adding 25% aq NH₄OH (30 mL) at r.t. until the pH increased to 11. Dropwise addition of NH₄OH was continued to maintain a pH of 11–12. The resulting black dispersion was continuously stirred for 1 h at r.t., and then the mixture was refluxed for 1 h. EtOH (40 mL) was added to the nanoparticles and the mixture was heated for 1 h at 40 °C. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (10 mL) was then added and the mixture was continuously stirred for 24 h. The silica-coated nanoparticles were collected by using a magnet, washed with EtOH and Et₂O (×5), and then dried in a vacuum at 100 °C for 12 h.
• 20 Boric Acid–Silica-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles SOCl₂ (1 mL) was added slowly to the silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles (1 g) in anhydrous CH₂Cl₂ (50 mL) cooled in an ice bath, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The nanoparticles (1g) were suspended in anhydrous acetone (50 mL), a sat. solution of boric acid (0.5 g) in anhydrous acetone (50 mL) was added at r.t. under argon, and the mixture was refluxed for 12 h. The resulting nanoparticles were collected by using a magnet, washed with deionized H₂O, EtOH, and Et₂O (×5), and dried at 80 °C for 12 h.
• 21 Preparation of Sulfated Boric Acid–Silica-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles Boric acid–silica-coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (2 g) in anhydrous CH₂Cl₂ (100 mL) were stirred for 10 min under argon. Chlorosulfonic acid (5 mL) was added dropwise to the suspension at r.t., and the mixture was stirred for 4 h. The sulfated particles was separated from the mixture with a magnet and washed several times with CH₂Cl₂ and then with H₂O, and finally dried at 80 °C overnight.
