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.

  • 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.
